Azumi

Orphaned in 19 th century war-torn Tokugawa Shogun period of Japan, Azumi (Aya Ueto) is found and raised along with nine other orphans by Ji, the mentor. The Shogun, sickened by innocent lives lost in senseless warfare, had commissioned Ji to cultivate assassins that could eliminate warlords before they could strike. After ten years of inconceivably harsh training and discipline, Azumi and her comrades, who have been moulded into invincible warriors, excitedly await instructions from Ji.
