Ronin is the nameless protagonist of the comic book limited series Ronin. His story begins in Feudal Japan as a samurai charged with defending his master, Ozaki. However, Ozaki is assassinated by the shapeshifting demon, Agat. Ozaki's spirit grants the now-ronin his magical sword, the only tool capable of slaying the demon lord. The Ronin then goes on a journey to slay the demon, which he succeeded at the cost of his own life. But on his dying breath, Agat curses him to the same eternal prison as itself, within the sword.
The story then cuts to a near-future dystopic New York City, a lawless wasteland. What is left of civilized New York lives inside a massive complex called Aquarius, which is owned by the ominous Aquarius Corporation. The city is powered by Virgo, a sentient computer who is gaining more and more control over Aquarius. Meanwhile, by supernatural means, the ancient Japanese sword is discovered, releasing Agat and the Ronin. The Ronin's soul was then absorbed by Billy Chalis, a telepathic autistic man. After further cybernetic enhancements, Ronin and Agat continue their blood feud throughout Aquarius and across the wastelands of New York. All the while battling street gangs, Neo-Nazis, and Aquarius's security forces.
