Dororo (どろろ)
is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by the manga artist Osamu Tezuka. Tezuka's childhood memory of his friends pronouncing dorobō (どろぼう, "thief") as dororo inspired the title of the series.[5] Dororo was first serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday between August 1967 and July 1968, before being cancelled. The manga was then concluded in Akita Shoten's Bōken'ō magazine in 1969.
Dororo and Hyakkimaru happen upon a village and are brought before its chief, Lady Bandai. However, Hyakkimaru inexplicably draws his sword in her presence, resulting in both him and Dororo being locked in a storehouse by the villagers. It turns out they are not the only ones confined there...
