In the year 1651, 11-year-old Tokugawa Ietsuna was installed as the fourth Shogun of the Tokugawa Era, sparking the enmity of various clans and officials who continually plotted to gain more power. Fearing the potential for civil war and instability in the land, the Hattori Family of Ninja is called upon to resume their traditional role as protectors of the Shogun. Hailing from the powerful Iga Clan of Ninjas, and led by the skilled Hattori Hanzo, they masquerade as ordinary citizens during the day. But at night, they emerge as Kage no Gundan, the secret Shadow Army of the Shogun. Edit Translation

Nice action packed ninja drama. Nice martial art with amazing stunt works. Nice music although it was very 70's instead of 80's....and not to forget generous (yeah I really mean it) fanservice too...haha

The downside of this drama however, it was in episodic format with 1 case per episode (some span up to 2 eps) kind of TV show. The main story was not so connected from episode to episode so you can skip one or two without missing anything. Some editing wasn't done correctly that the story flow of some episodes felt strange and jumpy. I guess it was shot on film so it was hard (and costly) to retake once they already in the editing stage...but I could be wrong as I don't know shit about movie making.

Overall still highly recommended if you're looking for kick ass Ninja drama with lots of action...but don't expect character development what so ever as the focus was on the martial art which I think worth to check out. Considering this was produced in the 80's, I gave it 8/10!
