Find Your Look-Alike in Blue Eye Samurai

A mixed-race swordswoman in Edo-period Japan. She hides her blue eyes behind tinted glasses, and a vow of revenge behind everything else. When she was born there were only four white men in Japan, and she plans to cut down all four.

The teacher who taught a princess to think for herself in a world where thinking was forbidden. Her hands are gentle and her lessons are subversive, and one last act of devotion changes everything.

A noodle shop kid born without hands who decided that was no reason to give up on greatness. He follows the samurai around with soup and loyalty, and he has a genius for showing up at the decisive moment.

A blind blacksmith who forges the finest swords in Japan. When a strange child turned up at his forge, he asked no questions. He taught everything that matters, including who deserves a sword.

A princess who built weapons from the only things her cage allowed. Her beauty and her brains, plus everyone's belief that she's harmless. She breaks out of an empire's worth of plans made for her.

A dojo ace who lost his honor and his engagement, and his topknot too, in a single duel. He chases the rematch across all of Japan, and at some point he realizes he's been following all along.

A middleman who runs the shogunate's back-room deals with a merchant's smile and a coward's escape plan. He sends a thousand swords so he never has to hold one.

An Irish arms smuggler who has spent twenty years trapped on an island. He smiles like he already owns the country he's about to buy. Charming at the dinner table, a monster everywhere else.
