Bamboo Blade is a Japanese-style animation ("anime") series that made its North American debut on FUNimation in 2010. The show follows Toraji Ishida, a high school kendo instructor and his attempt to make a championship team of kendo competitors out of a group of five lackluster schoolgirls. The series is based off of a Japanese manga series written by Masahiro Totsuka and illustrated by Aguri Igarashi. The story begins with Toraji Ishida, the coach of the Muroe High kendo club. He makes a bet with a rival coach, Kenzabur_ Ishibashi, of the Machido High kendo club. If Toraji is able to beat Kenzaburo, he will win all he can eat at Kenzaburo's father's sushi restaurant. Toraji, bent on winning the competition, begins searching for talent to fill out his team. He has the current team captain, Kirino Chiba, but needs four more to field a team. Out of nowhere, he comes across Tamaki Kawazoe, a talented freshman that starts Toraji on the track to make his championship team.MORE
