Aoarashi (Kadokawa Bunko)

[Machine Translation] There were two "Matsukichi" in the family of Jirocho Shimizu, a chivalrous man. The first henchman, Matsukichi of Sanshu, known as "Ishimatsu of Mori," is a handsome man and a strong older brother who is strong in gambling and fights, while Matsukichi of Miho, known as "Porky" because of his exceptionally large body, is a charming man who is not good with women or gambling. Despite their contrasting personalities, the two are separated from their parents and live with the same family, but they recognize each other. However, a harsh fate awaits them and their family at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Like the "blue storm" that blows in early summer when the leaves are green, this is a masterpiece of historical fiction about the last chivalrous men to travel the Tokaido Highway.
