Taro was the name of a character in a Rokugani peasant play. He rescued a young princess from tormentors while she was in the guise of a tortoise. In return, a minogame sent from the hidden Sea Palace of Suitengu came ashore to escort the peasant deep beneath the Umi Amaterasu for the Fortune of Sea, Suitengu, to bestow him with favor. When Taro returned to shore he found that over 300 years have passed, but the minogame had not aged a day.
