(Key films outside the jidai-geki genre are listed in gray)
A very familiar bit player who seemingly specialized in the great chamabara series of the 1960s and '70s, most notably playing Hattori Hanzo in the Shinobi No Mono movies. He was perfect as villains in the Lone Wolf and Cub movies because his face looks exactly like a Goseki Kojima drawing brought to life.
