History and Inspirations 

Our game takes elements from the Japanese folklore tale Kintaro the Golden Boy which is the story of a super strong child who lived in the forests of Japan with his mother. During his childhood he grew up playing with the local wildlife wrestling bears and fish  fighting monsters as well as helping the locals cut down trees. He would later be recruited, by a Japanese war general who was watching him and acknowledged his strength, to become a samurai who would defend Japan for many years to come.

 Story

Journey from the east to the west. The president needs your help, Big Carp and his army  have taken over the country and have kidnapped him. As a last ditch attempt the American army sends a carrier eagle to Mt Ashigara to call for help from the legendary warrior Kintaro.

Kintaro wielding his trusty axes and with the help of his animal companions will leave Japan and go to states to save the president and send Big Carp back to the ocean. 

Characters  

Kintaro- The dual axe wielding super strong defender from the Land of Japan. Spunky and energetic he jumps into battle with a huge smile  itching for a good fight and a chance to deliver a smackdown. With his bright blonde hair he has dubbed the alias the Golden Boy.

Kasusagi- A fire bending rabbit, the only thing to burn hotter than his flames is his incredibly short fuse. When he's angry he has a tendency to  burn everything around him to a crisp.  

Mama Kuma-  A Grizzly bear who Kintaro wrested when he was only 5 years old and effortlessly defeated. Respecting his strength, Mama Kuma becomes Kintaro's friend and ally in combat.  

Big Carp-  Kintaro's aquatic arch enemy. Not all to bright but still a formidable foe with super strength and an entire ocean army at his disposal. He tried to take over Japan a few years back until Kintaro swiftly defeated him. Now he returns with a few new tricks up his sleeve he will do anything in his power to stop Kintaro from disrupting his plans again.
