My Older Brother Yorimoto (1x6)

Uitzenddatum: Feb 13, 2005

The Heike gets increasingly alarmed to see Shanaou often visiting Kyoto instead of becoming a priest in a temple. One day, Shanaou is attacked by Utsubo’s brother and his follower Kisanta who seek to receive a reward from the Heike. Kisanta who is caught by Shanaou tells him that the Heike family is trying to kill him. Hearing that the Heike family is pressuring Kakunichi Risshi to make Shanaou a priest, Shanaou realizes that as long as he stays at the temple without becoming a priest he would cause difficulty for the people surrounding him. Being troubled about his future and feeling that he still cannot hate Kiyomori, Shanaou visits Otoku, a mysterious braid merchant, and asks her if she can arrange a meeting with Kiyomori. Kichiji, a gold merchant from Oushu recommends Shanaou to escape Kyoto and head for Hiraizumi, the city in Oushu where the Fujiwara clan rules. Around that time in Izu, Yoritomo spends his time leisurely though keeping an eye on movements in Kyoto. One day, Yoritomo meets Hojo Masako, daughter of Hojo Tokimasa who has watched Yoritomo by the order of the Heike.
