In a small, serene village nestled among the lush, green hills of rural Japan, life flourished under the shade of blooming cherry blossom trees. The village was a peaceful haven where time seemed to slow down, and the troubles of the world were kept at bay by the strong sense of community and tradition.
Young Itami, at the tender age of seven, lived in a humble house with his parents and older sister, Chihiro. Their home, like many in the village, was simple yet filled with warmth and love.
Itami's father, a respected Samurai, was known for his unwavering adherence to the old code of honour, a beacon of hope and righteousness in an increasingly corrupt world. The family thrived in this close-knit community, where festivals celebrating their Samurai heritage were a regular and cherished event.
