Storyline

A young boy called Tadashi Ino (Ryunosuke Kamiki) is chosen to be a "Kirin Rider" -- one who protects virtuous things from evil spirits. He's immediately put to the test by Lord Kato Yasunori (Etsushi Toyokawa), a malevolent force who sows chaos and destruction in the countryside. As young children go missing and evil mechanical monsters attack, Tadashi must retrieve a mythical sword from the Great Goblin to save the populace. Standing in his way are mountain-dwelling ghouls.
