According to one story, is father was the head of a temple shrine and had raped his mother. Another legend sees him as the offspring of a Japanese temple god. And he was said not to have been born after 9 months of pregnancy, but after 18 months - a monster child with wild hair and long teeth.Whatever the circumstances of his birth may have been, this child was apparently an innate troublemaker and an indomitable little rowdy. Soon everybody called him Oniwaka - the "devil's child" or "young devil".His enervated foster parents solved the problem by giving the little rowdy into the custody of a cloister. When the monks finally had enough of him, they sent him to another temple - ... and so on. Benkei got to know a lot of temples and monasteries during his youth.

Heroes:

The Faithful Vassal After this remarkable "mother of all sword fights", Benkei vowed eternal loyalty to Yoshitsune. His life took a complete turn. From now on he accompanied his new lord through numerous adventures and battles as the faithful vassal and second banana.It was the time of the Genpei wars, when the Minamato clan finally defeated their arch-rivals, the Taira clan in fierce fighting. Yoshitsune was the brilliant military leader of the Minamato. Japanese history and legend books and Kabuki plays are full of Yoshitoshi's audacious and clever moves. And on his side, his faithful vassal Benkei, feared by the enemy and revered by book readers and movie and theater spectators.
