After getting rid of the village samurai, Ika Chu and his right-hand man and head of Ika Chu's army, Ohga (George Takei), are about to drive out the villagers, but the shogun orders a new samurai. Therefore, he decides to recruit Hank (Michael Cera), a foreign dog. Since the country is only inhabited by cats and dogs are prohibited, Ika Chu hopes that the citizens of Kakamucho will reject the new samurai, which would provide the perfect excuse to invade the town.

Jackson), the former samurai of Kakamucho who will train Hank to become a true protective warrior, and Emiko (Kylie Kuioka), a white Persian kitten. who dreams of being a samurai when she grows up.
