Kamui (カムイ) is a manga series written and drawn by Sanpei Shirato. Set in feudal Japan it tells the story of a low-born ninja who has fled his clan. The series combines historical adventure with social commentary and themes of oppression and rebellion that reflect Shirato’s Marxist convictions. The original series Kamui Den (カムイ伝) ran from December 1964 to July 1971 in the monthly gekiga magazine Garo. The sequel titled Ninpū Kamui Gaiden (カムイ外伝) ran from 1965 to 1967 in Weekly Shōnen Jump.
