About 15 years ago, a friend and I used to play this Japanese game for the MegaDrive at some game console rental place near our school. I've been trying to look for it, but I don't know the name of the game.

It's a side-scroller hack-n-slash type game, and the theme is Kabuki. The tone of the game is not serious. It's comedic, over-the-top, and very very eccentric (well, you know the Japanese!). At the time, I couldn't read any Japanese, so my friend and I used to refer to it as the "Kabuki" game. I assume it was never released for the Genesis.

Does anyone have an idea what the name of this game might be?

I don't know if this is the game, but I just watched this video yesterday:

The video itself is a review of the Gen-X dual station console that plays NES/Genesis (Mega Drive), but at about 8 minutes into it, the guy puts in Kabuki Quantum Fighters (from Japan) and starts it up

By the way, the name of the game is not Kabuki Quantum Fighters. That was an NES game. This one is called Maou Renjishi... also known as Mystical Fighter.
