The Last Ronin

最後の忠臣蔵

Also known as The Last Chushingura, Saigo no chushingura, Saigo no chuushingura, เด็ดหัวซามูไรไร้เงา

16 years after the fateful "revenge of the Forty-seven Ronin," involving samurais from the Ako domain who avenged their leader and then commited seppuku (ritual suicide), the sole survivor of that incident, Kichiemon Terasaka (Koichi Sato) traverses the country on a mission. His purpose is to find the families of the fallen samurais and spread the truth of the ronin uprising.
