Hana no Keiji: Kumo no Kanata Ni is a Super Nintendo action-adventure game set during the late Japanese civil war era. Players assume the role of the eccentric warrior Keiji Maeda, navigating personal struggles, engaging in fierce battles, and forming connections with historical figures like Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hideyoshi. The game combines combat and narrative elements, reflecting the turbulent societal climate.
During the closing years of the civil war period and uneasy reign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, when men high and low scramble to follow conventional propriety so that they don't attract undue notice (or death) to themselves, there is one very bizarre individual who is known for his legendarily outlandish and wild personality, physical appearance and behavior. Experience the adventures of Keiji Maeda from personal conflicts with his adopted Maeda family, brave combat exploits, travels to the capital, and relationships with famous existing figures such as Iyeyasu Tokugawa, Rikyuu the tea master, and Hideyoshi himself, to experiences with the foreign and Japanese Christian faithful.
