After wrestling the bear... what comes next?
About
Once upon a time, deep in Mount Ashigara, there lived a boy of incredible strength named Kintaro, who was raised by a Yama-uba. Kintaro lived in harmony with the mountain animals and possessed enough power to wrestle bears. One day, his talent was discovered by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and he became a retainer under the name Sakata no Kintoki. He would later become one of Yorimitsu's Four Heavenly Kings, leading to the legend of the subjugation of Shuten-doji on Mount Oe.
