Dōshirō de Gozaru (道士郎でござる; "I'm Doshiro") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiroyuki Nishimori. It was serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday from May 2004 to January 2006, with its chapters collected in eight tankōbon volumes.

Plot

Returning to Japan after twelve years in America, Doshiro Kiriu (桐柳 道士郎, Kiriu Dōshirō) is inexplicably dressed in the full attire of a samurai. His appearance constantly provokes fights with delinquents, all of whom he easily defeats. After a particular incident, classmate Kensuke Kosaka (小坂 健助, Kosaka Kensuke) began loyally serving him as his lord. When a classmate, Erika Shirase (白瀬 エリカ, Shirase Erika), is falsely accused of theft by a teacher and a delinquent named Shibayama (芝山), Kensuke uncovers the conspiracy. Although her name is cleared, their methods force Doshiro, Kensuke, Erika, and another student, Ai Saotome (早乙女 愛, Saotome Ai), to leave the school. The group subsequently transfers to Akehisa Third High, the most notorious school for delinquents in the region.
