Kaidomaru was the childhood name of Sakata Kintoki, one of the later Yorimitsu's Retainers. The name "Kintaro" in the folktale is probably more familiar to Japanese people. Born the son of a Yamamba (mountain witch) on Mount Ashigara, Kaidomaru grew up with beasts as friends and developed his supernatural strength.
Yoshiiku was a pupil of Kuniyoshi, and he studied with Yoshitoshi. After Kuniyoshi's death, he became one of the leading ukiyo-e artists from the end of the Edo period to the beginning of the Meiji period by depicting the manners and customs of brothels.
