Members of Santerrain, I've been reading this manga series called Lone Wolf And Cub. It's a carefully researched masterpiece that takes place in Edo-Era Japan about a Samurai (Ronin) assassin who uses a Dötanüki... but the thing is, he travels with his three year-old son, Daigoro who helps him with his assassinations. The fight scenes are incredible and the atmosphere is very reaslistic feeling. I just thought I would recommend it since I love it so much, maybe you can gain some inspiration from it ^_^

The series was originally in Japanese but is recently being published in English by Dark Horse Comics. Each volume is about 300 pages each and they only cost $9.95, I think there are 8 volumes available at the moment and more are being published each month.
