The Brave 'Yoshihiko'

2011–2016 · 3 seasons

A gleefully silly, joke-dense quest that feels like watching friends play an old RPG and constantly break it.

Yuichi Fukuda
Genres
Sci-fi & fantasy, Comedy
Starring
Takayuki Yamada, Tsuyoshi Muro, Haruka Kinami
Overview
The story is set in an ancient time, when the whole country was covered in thick forests. A mysterious plague breaks out, resulting in countless deaths. A pure young man named Yoshihiko becomes chosen as a hero, and he sets out on a journey in order to save a village. He has two goals – to bring back the legendary plant that can cure the plague, and to rescue his father Teruhiko who left to find the plant but never returned.
