Yoshiyuki Kuroda

The story of Iwaki, a young brawler who becomes a professional criminal when he joins a Yakuza clan.

A story about the development of a bright and strong yakuza. Otaki is an old-fashioned respectful yakuza who tries to protect his small yakuza family. When his boss gets shot, he decides to go after the plotters.

This is the third installment in the series that was broadcast on Fuji TV's "Historical Drama Special" in 1983, and the story continues from the end of previous work. Ichibei, who plays Tomisaburo Wakayama, is in a series of pinches, such as being seriously injured to the spear and being caught by the Oniwaban and tortured. The action scene in the snow, which reversely utilizes the fact that it was snowing in Kyoto at the time of shooting, is also very powerful.

Ichibei teams up with Chief Jindayo of the Goomune (Japan’s gypsies’) in order to steal the shogunate’s solid gold statue of Ieyasu which might bankrupt the central government and complete his revenge against the Tokugawa by toppling them from the seat of power. Meanwhile a mysterious swordsman has entered the area while trying to keep his true identity secret. Will his bloody blade help or hinder Ichibei’s quest for retribution? Will their actions change the course of Japanese history?

Wakayama Tomisaburo plays the role of Ichibei. His father is denounced from his clan and murdered, his family is hamed, and Ichibei is no longer a member of the Kurokuwa ninja. Living with his daughter as a peaceful pharmacist by day, Ichibei exerts his vengeance against the powers that be in the dark of night, under the pseudonym "Fangs of Darkness". Unaware of the true identity of the burglar who's bringing disgrace upon the noble houses, the efforts to stop him are being doubled by the day. Will they ever be satisfied? Can they be stopped or will the lords be shamed in the eyes of the Tokugawa Shogun? See how far a father and his daughter can take their quest for vengeance in this action-packed tale of honor!

In the sixth and final film of the Lone Wolf and Cub series, the final conflict between Ogami Itto and the Yagyu clan is carried out.

A coward boy fencer becomes invisible and matchless through a magic pill.

In feudal Japan, gangsters chase a young girl who might testify against their boss. When the gangsters murder the girl's grandfather on sacred ground, the door is opened for the Yokai Monsters to step in.

『妖怪百物語』に次ぐ「妖怪」三部作の第二弾。1751年、伊豆半島に4000年の眠りからさめた西洋妖怪・ダイモンが現れた。生き血を求めて人々におそいかかるダイモン。その正体を見抜いた河童や油すましたちは日本妖怪軍団を組織、圧倒的な力を持つダイモンに健気に挑んでいく。

大魔神シリーズ第三弾。非道な領主のもとで強制労働をから逃げ出した村人たちを救うため、四人の子供たちが禁足地の山中へ向かう。領主側は追っ手を放ち、子供の一人が命を落としてしまう。そしてついに、山の武神像が動き出す。 　吹雪の特撮が印象的で、大魔神がその宝剣を初めて抜いたことでも話題になった。今回は子供の涙によって魔神が動くというのが新味だが、虐げられた良民の祈りが魔神に通じ怒りが爆発という基本パターンから脱却しきれず、新しいインパクトを与えるには及ばなかった。本作でシリーズは終了し、大映の特撮時代劇は妖怪シリーズへと移る。『マグマ大使』のガム役で知られる二宮秀樹が鶴吉を好演。

“大魔神”シリーズ第２弾。戦国時代、名越一族と千草一族は、八雲の湖をはさんで暮らしていた。そして湖の中央にある神の島に祭られる武神像により、平和を守られていた。そんな中、千草家の跡取り息子十郎と名越家の娘早百合は結婚することとなっており、両家の長期にわたる幸福な関係は約束されているかにみえた。ところが彼らは思わぬ侵略にさらされることになる。隣国の領主御子柴弾正は、まず千草一族、続いて名越一族を倒し､その領地を手に入れる。さらに両家を守り続けてきた武神像を破壊し、湖に捨ててしまう｡そして邪魔になった十郎と早百合を処刑しようとする。絶体絶命と思ったその時、湖がまっぷたつに割れ、巨大な魔神が現れる……｡神ノ島関係のシーンは、京都撮影所内に大規模なセットを組んで撮影。湖面を二つに割って登場する大魔神が圧巻。

A decapitation at the hands of the shogun's monstrous misbegotten son kicks off the action and draws nomadic Nemuri Kyoshiro (Raizô Ichikawa) into more sword-fighting adventures when he's blamed for the beheading. Meanwhile, the head-chopper's mother is busy knocking off the shogun's lawful heirs to secure the shogunate for her son.
