Description

his Kachi Class samurai armor has been hand-forged by our apprentice katchū-shi (Japanese armor smith) in honor of Yamamoto Kansuke (山本勘助, 1501–1561 A.D.). Kansuke was a Taishō samurai of the Sengoku Period, remembered as one of the famed “Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen.” Renowned for his loyalty and brilliant strategies, he became immortalized for the victory at the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, where Takeda forces triumphed over their great rival, Uesugi Kenshin.

Tragically, Kansuke did not live to see the fruits of his triumph. Believing his strategy had failed and unwilling to face dishonor, he spurred his horse into the enemy ranks, meeting his end in a fearless charge. His sacrifice secured Takeda’s victory and etched his name into the legacy of warriors who gave everything for their lord.

This yoroi is inspired by the armor Kansuke himself wore, featuring a hachi zunari kabuto (helmet) and okegawa dō (barrel-style chest armor). The kabuto is crowned with natural water buffalo horns, symbolizing his indomitable strength and battlefield ferocity. Every plate and lace is crafted to embody his spirit of devotion, courage, and resolve.

When displayed, this armor commands respect and awe. When worn, it awakens the warrior within. This is one of our most admired samurai armor sets—an enduring tribute to Kansuke’s valor. Also available in Gashira and Taishō Class.

Honor the memory of Kansuke, wear his spirit with pride.

Features: Kachi Class.

Variation of paint, nylon odoshi colors and features.
Full sized and fully functional.

Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 2 to 4 weeks, depending on options selected, and other scheduled orders, for the custom handcrafting of your yoroi.

To see the class differences, please view Kachi Vs. Gashira.

I ordered the Kachi (low end) model. I really wasn’t expecting too much but I was pleasantly surprised about the finished quality. I am kind of wishing I upgraded to the next model up to get the little extras now, but I really can’t complain. For the price I paid I am very happy with the armor and the service I received.

I wear this often. Fits like a glove and I give this site’s info out like crazy at events. Everyone wants their picture taken with me, wifey was pissed when I bought it but got over it quick and loves the attention it brings. Looks boss in the war room at our new house too.
I’ve worn it at Renaissance fairs, events at the Worcester art museum, random events and costume parties at local venues.

I love this armor set. It is absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations, even after reading the other reviews. There are usually always one or two star reviews for products from less than satisfied clients, but honestly I can see why everyone gives 5 stars. Between the quality of armor and level of customer service it is an easy 5 star rating for me!
