Samurai High School (サムライ・ハイスクール, Samurai haisukuru) was a Japanese television series.^[1]

Synopsis

The series follows the story of Mochizuki Kotaro, a mild-mannered, unmanly high school student. One day, while he visits a library, he encounters Himiko, a mysterious librarian who recommends to him an ancient book about a heroic general from the Sengoku period, which occurred 400 years ago. Kotaro notices that he has the same name and age as the general described in the book, and he experiences a flashback. Kotaro later mentions the book to his father, who tells him that he may be the descendant of a powerful samurai. At that moment, Kotaro receives a message from his childhood friend Ai, telling him that their classmate Nakamura Tsuyoshi is in trouble. He rushes to the scene but does not have the courage to help, until another flashback transforms him into a samurai.
