Poor guys: so many problems to please so few people. The very concept of using real actors’ faces in the games is baffling to me. From my standpoint, games have a unique chance to get rid of actors and all collateral problems. But no, companies are still wasting money to have a famous face on the poster.
Fun fact: I never ever even heard the name Toshiro Mifune.
You probably will be familiar with his face if you have seen any of the somewhat older samurai movies. Probably better known in Asia than outside of it though.
I’d recommend so many Mifune films. High and Low, Yojimbo (the movie that Leone copied almost shot for shot), or the Samurai Trilogy. Just a few of his 100+ movies he made. Mifune is one of the greatest actors to ever live.

he’s arguably the biggest Japanese film actor of all time. It would have been a big deal to japanese people.
I just can’t… why do people wear ignorance as a badge of honor nowadays?
You do not need them, yes, but I think it’s always fun to recognize people in games like Like a Dragon.
That aside, it’s always been a thing in Onimusha. It wouldn’t be a proper revival of the IP without one of their biggest USP.

Might know the face, yes. But the name doesn’t ring a bell.
It’s a long movie, but I highly recommend Seven Samurai.
Fucking great film. Recommend Throne of Blood too if you’ve not seen it.
