Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the fifth main game in the series, and the first entirely new main entry since 2006’s PS2 game Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams.

The game’s protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, who is described by Capcom as “a fierce young samurai, constantly moving from one bloody and mucky fight to the next”, is ‘played’ by late Japanese movie star Toshiro Mifune, who died in 1997.

Mifune was best known for collaborating with legendary film director Akira Kurosawa 16 times, including in such films as Rashomon and Seven Samurai.
