Manga Mito Kōmon (まんが水戸黄門) is a Japanese shōnen anime TV series consisting of 46 episodes directed by Kazuyuki Okasako.[1][2] Loosely based on real life events of Tokugawa Mitsukuni, it is considered as a sort of remake of the successful jidaigeki drama Mito Kōmon filled with more fantastic elements.[1][2]

Plot

The shogun Mito Mitsukuni crosses Japan in disguise, accompanied by two bodyguards, the grandson Sutemaru, the dog Dombee and, in part of the series, by a girl named Yuki. In each episode the group arrives in a village and find itself caught up in some kind of mystery they will unravel and solve.
