Overview:	Yataro Tanigawa, a one-eyed hired assassin, impresses yakuza boss Gomyo Kiyoemon with his skill. Gomyo hires Tanigawa as his bodyguard, or yojimbo, to protect him during an inter-clan conflict. Tanigawa quickly rises in stature in the clan, but finds his boss' enemies almost overwhelming. Yet another action-packed samurai picture from genre director Hideo Gosha, the film is his follow-up to the highly successful "Bandits vs. Samurai Squadron". It boasts an even bigger cast and bloodier action sequences. The film is acclaimed for the performance of Tatsuya Nakadai, Gosha's favorite actor. Their relationship of director and actor has been compared to that of Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune.
