Tonight’s story is about “Kintaro,” a classic Japanese folktale.
A strong boy lives in the mountains,
plays with animals, and helps them when they’re in need.
Later, he becomes known as “Sakata no Kintoki,”
a respected and kind samurai admired by many.
The One Piece character “Sentomaru” is also inspired by Kintaro!
Please enjoy this gentle tale as you wind down.
