More about Momotaro
According to folklore (dating to the Edo period), Momotarō came to Earth inside a giant peach which was found floating down a river, by an old, childless woman who was washing clothes there.
Grown up, Momotarō goes on his journey to defeat the demons when he hears about the demons of the Onigashima (demon island)
Nowadays, Momotarō is one of the most famous characters in Japan, as an ideal model for young kids for his kind-heartedness, bravery, power, and care for his parents.
