Kanbei's Wandering Adventures
Kanbei Hamidashi aka Tsukada Kambei was originally a direct retainer and head of a large group but could not fit into the organization and spent his days drinking and fighting. Such a Kambei receives an appointment as a secret inspector from Ometsuke Doi Masatoshi and sets out on a journey around various countries. A town girl Okon (accompanies him as a money watcher while Yoriki Ariga Tozaburo disguises himself as Senda to accompany him as an alcohol watcher. In addition to them, a "poverty god" disguised as a monk follows them as their watcher. Kambei punishes evil wherever he goes on his journey with his troublesome watchers.
