In the description of the vast, noble land of Hokkaido in northern Japan, at the beginning of the tumultuous 20th century… Saichi Sugimoto was a hero of the Russo-Japanese War, who was known as “immortal” because Otherworldly fighting skills he demonstrated on many battlefields, including the bloodiest battle of all: 203 Meter Hill. Hoping to find a huge sum of money for some purpose, he began searching for gold in Hokkaido.
There, Sugimoto learned about a large trove of gold that had been stolen from the Ainu tribe. The person who stole it, Noppera-Bo, hid it just before being captured. He gave 24 of his fellow prisoners tattoos that, when combined, formed a unique code that revealed the location of the gold and subsequently helped the prisoners escape.
Around that time, Sugimoto was attacked by a wild brown bear and was saved by an Ainu girl named Asirpa, whose father had been killed by a gold thief. Sugimoto, who wants to find gold, and Asirpa, who is seeking revenge on her father, decide to cooperate.
Another man was also on the trail of the treasure: Tokushiro Tsurumi, a Second Lieutenant of the 7th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army. He planned to conquer Hokkaido for the benefit of the soldiers who risked their lives in the war but were not rewarded and needed gold to fund his military goals.
