Zatoichi, Shintaro Katsu Figure (Alfrex)

Many Japanese films have had unique styles and character usage in them, which the Japanese are very proud of, and "Zatoichi" is one character that was loved. A blind samurai, wearing a ragged cloak and carrying a walking stick (sword) walked along the back roads. He protected himself by swiftly killing the number of enemies that he encountered, and left their dead bodies in mounds, as he endured his journey. One great image of Zatoichi is that he would sit down on the side of the road and greedily eat his rice balls. For each fan of Zatoichi, they will be able to put him in the pose that they remember best.
