In the 17th century and the century before that, Japan had feudal lords who ruled over areas (fiefs).They had their own samurai armies and were often involved in civil wars.Under the leadership of Taikaku (possibly referring to Toyotomi Hideyoshi), the fighting ceased.However, in the 1590s, Taige's health began to deteriorate.In order to prevent Japan from being divided by a multi-faceted civil war, Taiko established a shogunate council composed of five lords.They are Lord Ishido, Lord Sugiyama, Lord Ono, Lord Kiyama and the mysterious Toranaga Yoshii (played by Hiroyuki Sanada).

The Council's task was to ensure that the Crown Prince's son was protected until he came of age and ascended the throne.Meanwhile, Lord Hu Chang worked hard to expand his fiefdom, making the other four lords fear him.The first episode begins with Lord Hu Chang facing the other four lords, who plan to impeach him.Lord Tiger knew this could only mean one thing: the other four lords planned to kill him.John was the captain of the Dutch ship Erasmus.The ship had weapons such as guns, which were uncommon in Japan at the time.John and his hungry crew arrived on the coast of Japan and were immediately attacked.The lord of the fishing village where the ship docks, Kashiki Yabushige (played by Tadanobu Asano), captures John and his friends.Eventually, Kashiki Yabushige brought John to Lord Toyotomi Torana, who had sworn allegiance to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
