Ebizo is a thief. Stealthy and able to skulk through the palatial estates of Edo like a wisp, he has the power to snatch valuables on the fly and load them into his nigh limitless sack. Ebizo gave up his life of crime over a decade ago to take care of a little girl named Suzuna. Back then, he was a member of the Gingarasu, a crew of thieves who stole from the wealthy and distributed the spoils to the poor. While on an outing with his partner Ainosuke, Ebizo found and rescued Suzuna from an incident in which her parents were killed by criminals. With new responsibilities, Ebizo raised Suzuna like a daughter and walked away from the Gingarasu.

Returning home one day, Ebizo finds Suzuna collapsed on the floor and in bad shape. Suffering from a mysterious illness, her prospects for adequate treatment aren't high given the meager earnings that Ebizo brings in every day. With no other choices available to him, he decides to return to a life of crime doing what he does best: thievery. Kamiwaza is a game of stealth tactics and Ebizo's abilities exemplify the ways of elite thieves. In addition to creeping motion, Ebizo can lay flat on his belly and slither, hide behind obstacles, wedge himself between tight spaces, disguise his appearance, and literally shadow enemies thisclose as they walk around.

The main character, Ebizou, doesn't kill or even injure anyone, he only steals, and if possible, he only steals from the rich to give to the poor.

STORY
Ten years ago, Ebizo was a member of the valiant thief organization, “Gingarasu”, using his expert thieving skills to rob the rich and give to the poor. But because of an incident, he left that group and quit thieving altogether, adopting a little girl, Suzuna, as his daughter. But the good time did not last; Suzuna contracted a serious illness of unknown causes. In order to gather the amount of money that is needed to treat her illness, Ebizo decided to do what he did best, using his thieving skills to get hold of the needed cash. Can he help Suzuna recover from her illness?
