At the end of the Edo period in Kyoto, during a stormy night a samurai prepares to fight against an opposing clan member, when a flash of lighting hits and when he wakes up to find himself in a different time. He has been transported through time to the present day and the location where he was about to duel is now a film set for jidaigeki TV shows and movies. Still in his samurai cloth es he is mistaken for an extra and immediately thrust into the world of jidaigeki productions. Due to his very ‘authentic’ look and speech, he starts working on many productions and finds himself playing the role of a “kirareyaku” , a swordsman whose job is to die spectacularly on film.
