Synopsis
= Background =
Golden Kamuy takes place in the aftermath of the Russo-Japanese War, primarily in Hokkaido and the surrounding regions. Detailing the many real-life political, technological, and cultural developments of Japan at the time; several key parts of the series are fictionalized versions of real-life people and events. Specific focus is given to the indigenous Ainu people and their culture, such as exploring their language and the way they respectfully use natural resources to thank the Kamuy they believe provide them. Later parts of the story also explore the different subcultures within the Ainu and the hardships they suffered by being caught in Japanese-Russian territorial conflicts. The plot also explores the severe struggles of soldiers and war veterans, with moral ambiguity, survivor's guilt, honour, penance, and virtue ethics being common themes.
The central MacGuffin comes from an in-universe tall tale of an Ainu mining group, said to have unearthed 20 kan{{efn|{{note|kan_value}}112.5 kg or 248 lbs}} of gold.{{efn|{{note|macguffin_value}} Valued in the 2014 manga at around JP¥800m, approximately US$7.7m}} One miner murdered the others and hid the gold, only to be captured by Japanese authorities before he could share the location. Disappeared by the government and hidden in Abashiri Prison, the Ainu miner was isolated, hobbled and tortured for the location. To relay the location outside, the Ainu miner tattooed many parts of a ciphered map onto his fellow prisoners, offering them a cut of the gold for sharing it with his comrades outside. The prison eventually recognized the code, but was unable to read it and attempted to transport the tattooed men elsewhere; the tattoed convicts overpowered and killed their captors, scattering into the night.

Saichi Sugimoto, a veteran of the battle of Hill 203, works as a panner in Hokkaido to provide for the widow of his dead comrade. Sugimoto is approached by a drunk old man, who tells him a dubious legend of a huge gold cache; it can only be found by connecting a cyphered map, split into strange tattoos on Abashiri Prison escapees. Sugimoto laughs off the tall tale, only to wakes the next day to find the old man pointing his gun at him, apologizing for saying too much. Overpowering the old man, Sugimoto pursues him into the woods, finding him killed by a bear and with a large, geometric tattoo across his chest, back and shoulders. Saved from the bear by a young Ainu girl named Asirpa, Sugimoto realizes the story is true and suggests they recover the Ainu gold together. Asirpa is uninterested in the gold but wants vengeance for her father, one of the Ainu miners who was killed in the betrayal.
Examining the body, they realize the tattoos have seams, meaning that the prisoners were always intended to be murdered and skinned. Due to her opposition to needless killing, Asirpa suggests they try to co-operate with prisoners they find by simply tracing their tattoos. Soon recruiting Shiraishi, an escape artist and tattooed convict, Sugimoto's group finds themselves clashing and co-operating with other parties collecting the tattoos: First Lieutenant Tsurumi, the insane leader of the 7th Division, and Hijikata Toshizō, who is touted as the last living samurai.
