Synopsis:

Azumi begins the film as the only girl among 10 warriors who have been trained from childhood by Jiji, a gray-bearded samurai. One day, Jiji tells them they must pass a final test before they embark on the mission they have prepared for all these years. He pairs them up, and, only five survive, including Azumi. Led by Jiji, this small band descends from the mountain that is the only world they know. Their mission, we learn, is to stop a nefarious plot to unseat the current shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, by the supporters of Hideyori, the son of deceased warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In other words, they are out to prevent a civil war of the kind that devastated their own families before Ieyasy wrested power from his rivals at the battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and imposed peace...

Set in feudal Japan, AZUMI is an anime come to life. AZUMI is a part of an elite group of assassins- raised from birth to carry out deadly missions. When the assassin clan is forced to leave it's training home to seek out and kill key political figures, AZUMI begins to question her master's wisdom. On the trail of a warlord, AZUMI encounters unfriendly ninja, bandits, soldiers and a mysterious villian dressed in white. Director Ryuhei Kitamura ( VERSUS) creates another furious heart pounding action adventure with AZUMI. With the beautiful Aya Ueto and Kitamura's frantic direction AZUMI is destined to be an action classic.

Raised to deal in cold blooded death, the teenage ninja girl Azumi must defeat three evil warlords while also battling her own heart.
