NEMURI KYOSHIRO 5: THE
SWORDSMAN AND THE PIRATE (Nemuri Kyoshiro Enjo Ken)
Kyoshiro's blazing sword is
put to the ultimate test when he gets embroiled in a plot to kill an
innocent girl who's posing as a washerwoman. With the help of some
unorthodox allies, Kyoshiro is able to deal out his ironic brand of justice
to the mob of fanatics who want her dead. This film features a great
performance by actress Nakamura Tamao, who was married to superstar
Katsu Shintaro. She was regularly cast opposite Raizo in many films,
including the brilliant ”Satan’s Sword” trilogy in which she played three
women (live and as their ghosts). One of the best entries in this series,
Kyoshiro must draw his famed sword, the "Muso Masamune" to cut down
his most dangerous foe!
NEMURI KYOSHIRO 6: THE
MYSTERIOUS SWORD OF KYOSHIRO (Nemuri Kyoshiro Masho Ken)
When the fate of a mighty
clan depends on finding the illegitimate son of the late Lord, Kyoshiro gets
involved when it turns out that the little boy doesn't want to be a Daimyo -
he wants to be a carpenter. But the clan elders know that unless the kid
becomes their master (whether he likes it or not), their clan is doomed.
Unfortunately for them, Kyoshiro owes the boy a favor. Director YASUDA
Kimiyoshi was one of Japan’s finest filmmakers. He is best known for
directing THE BLIND SWORDSMAN MEETS HIS EQUAL, but his brilliance is
clearly shown in this film. This is one of the most exciting films in the
Son of the Black Mass series.
NEMURI KYOSHIRO 7: THE
MASKED PRINCESS (Nemuri Kyoshiro Tajo Ken)
The insanely evil Princess Kiku from the 4th film in the series is back, and
her hatred for Kyoshiro knows no bounds. As the Shogun’s daughter she is
able to send waves of assassins after the cynical red-haired Samurai.
Meanwhile Kyoshiro tries to prove that not all Samurai are like the
bloodthirsty villains that terrorized a young girl. How Kyoshiro manages to
avoid the ambushes and traps is further complicated by the Shogun’s
Guardians who help Princess Kiku in her attempt to kill him. His path is
further complicated by the mysterious ronin that keeps showing up wherever
he is, trying to learn the secrets of the “Full Moon Cut”.

NEMURI KYOSHIRO MADE-FOR-TV MOVIE
Starring: TAMURA Masakazu Directed by
TANAKA Tokuzo
Nemuri Kyoshiro's discovery of a plot to have an imposter succeed to
the position of Shogun leads him to Kyoto in order to help Tokugawa
Ieyoshi, and keep the succession in its proper order. Noted film
actor Tamura Masakazu returns as Nemuri Kyoshiro in this made
for TV Special after his successful portrayal of the 'Full-Moon'
swordsman in the TV Series. Kyoshiro rescues Shizu who was being
abused by her husband, ever since she had been violated by the man
posing as Ieyoshi. He then learned that Ieyoshi had been acting
oddly ever since returning from Kyoto 6 months ago. Sir Fumiya's
investigation of the O'oku (Shogun’s harem in Edo Castle) uncovered
the plot and reported that Sir Higo-no-kami had been controlling the
fraud. That's when Kyoshiro heads to Kyoto to find clues... The
original story ”Nemuri Kyoshiro Komu Nisshi” for this TV
movie was written by famous author, Shibata Renzaburo. Tamura
Masakazu takes the Nemuri character to a whole new dimension. He
can play the sensitive, the just, the cold-blooded, and at times,
the ultra violent Nemuri. Adding to that, excellent swordfights make
this one of Tamura's all-time best!
