In late medieval Japan, Kai is a half-Japanese, half-English outcast who lives in the Akō Domain, which is ruled by the benevolent Lord Asano Naganori. Later during the Shōgun’s visit, Kai sees that one of the Shōgun’s concubines has the same multi-colored eyes. He tries to warn Asano’s principal counselor and samurai, Oishi, that there is a Witch amongst Kira’s household; but Oishi dismisses his warning.
