Azumi begins the film as the only girl among 10 warriors who
have been trained from childhood by Jiji, a gray-bearded samurai.
One day, Jiji tells them they must pass a final test before they
embark on the mission they have prepared for all these years. He
pairs them up, and, only five survive, including Azumi. Led by
Jiji, this small band descends from the mountain that is the only
world they know. Their mission, we learn, is to stop a nefarious
plot to unseat the current shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, by the
supporters of Hideyori, the son of deceased warlord Toyotomi
Hideyoshi. In other words, they are out to prevent a civil war of
the kind that devastated their own families before Ieyasy wrested
power from his rivals at the battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and
imposed peace...
The sec movie is called azumi 2 death or love lol. the guy whom u
mentioned is called nachi. He is azumi's best buddy i think. But he
got killed by azumi becuz they r ordered to kill their partner.
those who survived pass the test. Nachi will reoccur in movie 2 but
as another guy who resembles him called ginkaku.
azumi is acted by ueto aya
and nachi/ginkaku is acted by oguri shun
