Sugimoto is a veteran of the Russo-Japanese war who earned the nickname “The Immortal Sugimoto” for having survived many near-fatal woundings on the battlefield.

But, the rivers have already been picked clean. One day, he hears a tall tale of a group of prisoners with tattoos leading to Hokkaido’s hidden gold horde.

Rakuro initially sacrifices gear in his character creation in order to get better weapons, so he opts for a ridiculous bird mask and no armor.
