Utsunomiko

宇宙皇子

In the chaos of the Jinshin-no-Ran civil war of 672, a child with a small horn on his forehead is born. His mother condemns him as an oni and casts him away. An elderly shugenja woman takes the child, names him Utsunomiko, and tells him his horn symbolizes the union of heaven and earth.

Miko grows up in the wilderness learning the ways of Shugendo. He begins venturing into villages, where he finds the common people living in poverty and suffering. Using his spiritual powers to help them, his anger grows against the self-serving rulers and their petty power struggles, leading him into open conflict with the Imperial Court.
