Red Shadow | Vintage Ninja. Every year we celebrate the site’s birthday by reposting the very first thing we ever did — a look at vintage press still from Akai Kageboshi. (originally published June 7, 2. Can a respectable, accomplished beautiful woman from noble samurai family possibly say no to a hooded bedroom invader so clearly superior in his warrior fashion sense? I think not! I may have started this site just to find a good home for this picture. Watari And The Fantasticks NycSeriously. Said hood is Hashizo Okawa, the shinobi son trying to exact revenge on behalf of his tattooed ninja mom- done- wrong in the 1. Toei film Akai Kageboshi. It’s part tournament movie, part mulit- generational mystery, part ninja romance – all with a supporting cast of staggering chambara manliness. It all starts with our old pal Hattori Hanzo, played by Jushiro Konoe of Ninja Hunt and the Yagu Secret Scrolls series, who intercepts a ninja on a castle incursion. During their struggle, he realizes his prey is actually a woman, and the two are so turned- on by each other’s shinobi sex appeal, they have at it on the spot. Couple decades later, that same lady of the shadows is a bitter and obsessed ninja MILF who has trained her son, the offspring of that fateful encounter, in the family trade. Decked out in all sorts of gorgeous ornate get- ups, he is ‘The Red Shadow’ – the instrument of her revenge. The plot, from that set- up, is full of twists and turns and amazing characters. Sonny- boy’s mission is to collect 1. Shogunate treasure and vindicate her failure as a shadow agent. The ten swords, however, are the prizes in a martial arts tournament, so Red has to snatch the blades from the victors every night. This goes along fine, as long as the winners are old semi- retired swordsmen or young hotties practicing Naginata, but when one of the victors is Jubei F’N Yagu, played by Ryutaro Otomo, it’s a whole different deal! Red throws everything in his ninja repertoire at Jubei, just to see it all bounce harmlessly off his square jaw. ![]() Condensed versions were later released under the titles Ninja Scope: The Magic World of Watari, Watari the Conqueror and Watari and the Fantasticks] ALEKO.

Jubei, meanwhile, butts his way into the intrigue afoot, then Hanzo comes out of retirement, Red falls in love, snakes fall from the ceiling and shuriken sing through the night air…So yeah, Akai Kegeboshi is a pretty damn essential film, for those of you who haven’t seen it. Grey marketeers and fan- subbers have made it readily available, too, so there’s no excuses. Despite literal translations, would be a good idea to refer to this maybe as “The Crimson Shadow” or “The Scarlet Shadow” or something else, as the name “Red Shadow” has a rather significant pedigree elsewhere…Here’s a ton of images, like the above, from Thai press kits released contemporary with the film’s original theatrical run. Staged publicity shot, shows how amazing the costumes are in this film. That bo shuriken looks pretty deadly…A staged combat shot from the publicity kit.

Co- star Satomi Kotaro in publicity pose – check out the ornate fan designs on that tsuba! That’s Keiko Okawa as Yuri, halberd expert and Shadow’s main squeeze. Otomo’s Jubei dispenses with the otherwise signature (maybe cliché) eyepatch for a perhaps more intimidating wink of doom. The film does a great job of portraying Yagyu as an omnipotent force of nature with a sword, and Shadow is in WAY over his head facing him. Shadow is also no match one- on- one for the veteran Hanzo, it’s everything he can do just to escape these encounters. And there are some really cool escapes, too. The bit where someone has come so close to getting slashed in the head, their straw hat has a triangle cut in it is so damn cool…Bit of a spoiler here, but it’s not like you don’t see it coming from a mile off. And yes, by contractual obligation, the final showdown is in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. I’ll wrap this up with some close- up scans of the mission gear. LOVE that mesh soft- armor hood! Don’t let these sepia- tone and B& W press photos fool you, Akai Kageboshi is a beautiful color film. The print that’s floating about the ‘trading communities’ is probably from TV and is pretty inky, though – but by no means a deal breaker.
