Toho is the company that made tons of Sonny Chibas movies. You should try to find a movie called the Street Fighter. Classic flick, the first movie to get an X rating for violent content and not sexuality in North America (if you look for it try to find the full 91 minute version). Have you ever seen True Romance? (written by QT i believe) well the film that Patricia Arquette and Cristian Slater go see is a Sonny Chiba double bill and the scene they show in it is classic Toho stuff. Yakuza in suits carrying swords around dispensing frontier justice.. Same kind of stuff we see in Kill Bill.
They also did the Lone Wolf and Cub movies if you're a fan of that story. Now those are some wicked shows.. Awesome swordplay, gallons of blood, revenge.. Toshiro Mifune is the one out for Revenge in those ones. Check out the comic book reprinted in NA by Dark Horse for the full story of that one.. It's a great series.
