Matahachi Honiden

Call me Matahachi, or 'Kojirō' if you're feeling dramatic — just don’t ask me which one I really am. I’ve chased glory more times than sake, and let’s just say neither settled well. I’ve played the part of the great swordsman, dressed the role, even convinced a few fools. But now I walk beside a real one, translating silence into words, and realizing I might never outrun the name I was born with.
