Plot
Bandit leader "Night Rabbit" Kakuemon has always kept the rule to "never kill, never rape, never steal from the poor", passed down to him by the gang's previous leader. He has never been arrested, and for that, he always thought he would have a peaceful death. But one day, after talking to a young one-armed homeless girl, he decides to break up his gang and turn himself in.

Onihei Gaiden Movies

Onihei Gaiden is a series of Japanese historical films and television dramas based on novels by Shōtarō Ikenami, focusing on stories from the "thieves" side, distinct from the main Samurai Detective Onihei series. It tells tales from the perspective of criminals, such as bandit leader "Night Rabbit" Kakuemon or the events surrounding the notorious thief Kumagorō. These side stories provide a look into the lives of common people and outlaws in Edo-period Japan.
