Ogami Itto, einst der Henker des Shoguns, wird nach einer Verschwörung zum Söldner und reist mit seinem Sohn Daigoro durch das mittelalterliche Japan. Gemeinsam schreiben sie die Legende von "Lone Wolf & Cub". Dieser Manga von Kazuo Koike und Gôseki Kojima gilt als zeitloser Klassiker und inspiriert zahlreiche Künstler weltweit.

Japan im späten 17. Jahrhundert: Durch eine Intrige ist Ogami Ittô, vormals ein hoher Gefolgsmann des Shôgun, zum herrenlosen Samurai (Rônin) geworden. Ogami schwört Rache an den Urhebern der Intrige, dem Haus der Yagyû. Aber sein Vorhaben erscheint aussichtslos: die Yagyû stehen als Assassinen (Auftragsmörder) in Diensten des Shôgunats und verfügen über unbegrenzte militärische und politische Macht. Trotzdem ist Ogami entschlossen, den ungleichen Kampf mit diesem übermächtigen Gegner aufzunehmen. Er wird selbst zum Auftragsmörder und begibt sich als „Kozure Ôkami“ (Wolf mit Kind) auf eine blutige und einsame Odyssee durch Japan, begleitet nur von seinem kleinen Sohn Daigorô. Seit Ogami in den Besitz des hochbrisanten „Yagyû-Briefs“ gekommen ist, hat sich das Blatt zugunsten des auf Rache sinnenden Rônin gewendet. Denn der Brief enthält ein Geheimnis, welches das Schicksal des Yagyû-Clans besiegeln könnte. Auf der Suche nach diesem Geheimnis kommt Ogami der Lösung des Rätsels immer näher. Derweil steht Retsudô, das Oberhaupt der Yagyû, unter Zugzwang. Wenn er den drohenden Untergang seines Clans abwenden will, muß er Ogami möglichst unauffällig beseitigen. Doch Retsudô hat bereits vier Söhne im Kampf gegen Ogami verloren. Ihm bleibt allein seine Tochter Sayaka. Wird er auch sie in den Kampf gegen seinen Erzfeind schicken?
