Gimu follows the journey of Hideyoshi Sugiyama, a Japanese fighter pilot whose life is shaped by the turbulence of World War II. From his childhood in the fishing village of Sakurada to the deadly skies over the Pacific, Hideyoshi faces the brutality of war, the loss of comrades, and the burden of Japan's eventual defeat. Through Hideyoshi's eyes, readers experience the pivotal battles of the Pacific War, the relentless air raids, and the devastating aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Returning to a shattered Japan, Hideyoshi embarks on a deeply personal journey to rebuild his life, reunite with his family, and reconcile with the ghosts of war. It is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring hope for a better future.

Gimu: (n) the lifelong duty to loyally fulfill one's obligations and responsibilities to comrades, family, and all of society.

Death is lighter than a feather, but duty is heavier than a mountain.
