For Players Outside Japan

Momotaro is one of the most famous folktales in Japan. Almost everyone in Japan grows up knowing the story.

Here's how the original goes:

Once upon a time, there lived an old man and an old woman.

One day, while the old woman was washing clothes by the river, she saw an enormous peach floating downstream. She took it home, and when they cut the peach open, a healthy baby boy popped out from inside!

The couple named him Momotaro, meaning "Peach Boy," and raised him as their own.

When Momotaro grew up, he decided to travel to Onigashima, the Island of Oni, to defeat the Oni who had been terrorizing people.

Along the way, Momotaro met a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant. He shared his kibi dango, a type of Japanese dumpling, with them, and the three animals joined him on his journey to Onigashima.

When they reached the island, Momotaro and his new companions joined forces and fought the Oni together. Eventually, the Oni leader surrendered and returned all the treasure they had stolen.

Momotaro returned home with the dog, monkey, and pheasant, bringing the treasure with him.

And they all lived happily ever after.
