Plot

In 1246 Japan under the Kamakura shogunate, a traveling troupe of performers arrives in Kamakura. The group includes elder Kugutsu, dancers Kyara and Mayu, and Kokemaru, a one-armed jester who wears cat-like makeup and speaks in nonsense. Though appearing harmless, Kokemaru secretly protects the dancers using a strange power emanating from his severed limb. Meanwhile, investigator Toura and his assistant Konpei track a serial killer murdering prostitutes with claw-like wounds. Their investigation leads them to suspect Kokemaru's involvement, uncovering dark secrets about the jester's true nature and connection to the crimes.
