About Hannya Kotaro

Deep in the mysterious forests of Jinin lies the hidden village of Hannyagakure; lair of a noble order of Elven assassins sworn to protect lord and country from evil beyond the green borders of the nation as well as within.

Every century, the Hannya clan selects a small number of their best youths to leave the village to go on a journey to vanquish evil outside their country as a rite of passage, as well as a means to collect information to further enhance their abilities in serving Jinin as its protectors in the shadows. The young ninja who returns after 10 years with the highest achievement by means of vanquishing a villain that threatened a kingdom or discovering an item or some knowledge that can change the world forever will be awarded the position of "KAGEBANCHOU". Becoming a Kagebanchou not only gives one the power to command the entire shinobi force of the Hannya, but also grants him or her the right use the clan's most sacred relic, the Mask of the Hannya.
