: : Here are some of the dates I mentioned previously... These are just some birth and death dates...
:
I don't know who Kihachi Okamoto is, though.
Kihachi Okamoto directed "Red Lion", "Kill", "Sword of Doom", and Zato Ichi Meets Yojimbo" as well as others...
Also, you made me a bit older than I am--I was actually born in 1953.
Not sur where I got your birth date from, thanks for the correction.

: : Have you read or seen Goseki Kojima's comic series (not Lone Wolf and Cub) set in feudal Japan featuring Aesamon the Decapitator (or something like that)??
: I haven't seen or heard of this series. But then, I'm not heavily into anime or manga--mainly because I don't get a chance to get to the Japanese stores in LA's Little Tokyo very often. And the stores that do sell manga usually have them shrink-wrapped in plastic which makes previewing the books difficult. I'll certainly look for this series, though. Is it a current work or was this done a while ago?
I ran across this series listed on the Harapin (spelling) web page that lists Japanese publications while running a search on Goseki Kojima... can't read Japanese Kanji so was unable to learn anything about the title except that there are a fair number of issues, similar to the Lone Wolf series... The page also lists the projects Kojima did based on Akira Kurosawa's films - Sanjuro, Throne of Blood, and a couple others.
Abayo,
Steve
