Plot edit
Kaze to kumo to Niji to deals with the Heian period in Japan. Based on Chōgorō Kaionji's novels Taira no Masakado and Umi to Kaze to Niji to.[2][3] The drama was made with Go Kato's request after NHK abandoned the initial project of having the 1976 drama be about Katō Kiyomasa, which they already cast Go Kato for the lead role.[4]
The story chronicles the life of Taira no Masakado.[5]
The story begins with Masakado's childhood. Masakado happens to meet Fujiwara no Hidesato, and he thinks that he want to be great Samurai like Hidesato in the future.
