The Legend of Kage 2 (???? Kage no Densetsu 2) is a Japanese action-adventure game developed by Lancarse for the Nintendo DS and published by Taito in 2008. Taito's parent company Square Enix published a North American localization of the game later that year. The Legend of Kage 2 is the sequel to The Legend of Kage (1985) an arcade game developed and distributed by Taito. The player takes control of: either Kage the ninja from the first game (armed with a katana and shuriken); or Chihoiro a kunoichi from Iga raised by Hanzo Hattori (armed with a kusarigama). Both are loyal to the shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa. Their mission is to rescue Tokugawa's daughter Princess Kirihime; she has been kidnapped by the demonic warlord Yoshiro Kuyigusa and his aide-de-camp the rogue samurai Yukinosuke Riko in an attempt to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate.
