Mar 23, 2010 · In both movies, Mifune says that he’s called Sanjuro, which means “30 years old,” and quips, “going on 40.” He also tacks on a name inspired by whatever vegetation is nearest: In Yojimbo, he’s Sanjuro “Kuwabatake” (“mulberry field”); in Sanjuro, he’s Sanjuro “Tsubaki” (“camellia”).
Aug 4, 2023 · In 1965, Mifune starred as the charitable Doctor Kyojo Niide in Kurosawa’s jidaigeki (period drama) Red Beard. It was the last time the two men ever worked together. As for why the relationship broke down, there has been a lot of speculation over the years.
Acting as a loosely connected companion piece to Kurosawa’s earlier film Yojimbo it sees him team up once again with Toshiro Mifune extending what’s considered by many as the best director/actor partnership of all time. Mifune stars as ‘The Samurai’ or as he’s known in this film Sanjuro Tsubaki.
