Aya, Yoji, Ken, and Omi are the four young men who comprise Weiss Kreuz (WK), an assassin group who eliminates certain menaces to society. Each member has his own trademark fighting style. Aya is adept at fighting with a katana, Yoji has mastered the art of strangulation via strings, Ken is lethal with his metal claws, while Omi specializes in a wide array of projectiles. Under the command of a mysterious man known only as "Persia", the WK is dispatched to take care of drug rings, terrorist factions, and the like. But as things go along, they discover that most, if not all, the bad elements they have dealt with are somehow connected to the Takatori family. The Takatori family is rich, powerful, and influential. It seems if the problem is to be nipped in the bud, the WK would have to put an end to one of Japan's most prominent clans.

Where it came from
Knight Hunters, known in Japan as Weiss Kreuz, originated in 1998 as a multimedia project centered on a team of four assassins who work at a flower shop by day. The project was the brainchild of voice actor Takehito Koyasu, who gathered a group of his peers to voice the main characters and participate in a range of media including radio dramas, manga, and the animated television series produced by Magic Bus and released through Polygram Japan.
The series is noted for its dramatic, melancholic tone and its aesthetic, which was heavily influenced by the visual style popular in late 1990s shoujo manga and anime. While the animation quality was frequently discussed by critics due to its uneven production standards, the series developed a dedicated following, particularly among fans of character-driven narratives and the voice cast members, cementing its place as a distinctive representative of the late 90s bishonen anime subgenre.
