At last night's PlayStation State of Play event, Capcom gave us a bigger look at Onimusha: Way of the Sword and its main protagonist. The lead character is none other than Miyamoto Musashi, one of Japanese history's most legendary swordsman, and in Onimusha his likeness is provided by a similarly legendary actor.
That actor is Toshiro Mifune, who appeared in many of Akira Kurosawa's most notable movies, including the likes of Seven Samurai, Rashomon, The Hidden Fortress, and Yojimbo. Mifune died in 1997 at the age of 77, but not before cementing a legacy as one of Japan's - and the world's - greatest actors. He even previously portrayed Miyamoto Musashi in a trilogy of films directed by Hiroshi Inagaki.
