“In Japan, there are several famous folklores such as ‘Momotaro’ and ‘Urashimataro.’
Among them, there is a story of ‘Kintaro.’
The legend is about a boy who was strong, living with his mother in Mount Ashigara.

He later was hired by Minamoto Yorimitsu, a very high ranked samurai and defeats many yokai.
Later, he becomes one of the four samurai of Minamoto Yorimitsu.
This story is a mix of folklore and a historical story from the Heian Era of Japan.
