On 26 February 1936, an infant was placed under the eaves of a dango shop on the approach to the Taishakuten temple this wintry day. The baby becomes the Kuruma family’s child. Then his younger half-sister Sakura is born. His father Heizo (Maiguma Katsuya) is conscripted when he begins elementary school. And he later runs away from home. His love for his mother Mitsuko (Inoue Mao) and Sakura shaped him as a person. No matter how irresponsible and wild he was, he never had any ill will towards people and was a fair person. This is the story of Torajiro who melts people’s hearts, from the secret of his birth and his bratty days until he was sent off at the station at Katsushika Shibamata by Sakura at the age of 14. |
