That's a great movie, and a very gorgeous lady. If you haven't watched the original Zatoichi films(sorry, Shintaro Katsu is not a lovely lady, hahaha) then you are missing out.

Can't beat a classic "you destroyed my family, now I'm going to kill you" film. I'll have to check these out.

And great drinking games. Ie: every time somebody tries to cheat Ichi in gambling, take a drink every time a group of people say "he's only a blind man" take a drink, the list could go on! Interesting fact, in the movie that Ichi meets his brother, he is played by The same guy as Ogami Itto in Lone Wolf and Cub (also awesome) who is in fact Katsu's older brother.

Yep, Tomasiburo Wakayama, who was an outstanding actor and martial artist. Lone Wolf and Cub is one of my favorite film series ever.

Lone Wolf and Cub (first movie) absolutely rules!
This is my hat that I wear everyday. I put in a sterling silver howling "lone" wolf with cub in the hat band.
Unfortunately, I think the series of movies becomes progressively terrible as they advance. Second one was watchable, but frankly when they start having machine guns hidden in the baby carriage it jumps the shark. First movie is a total badass classic, though.

Mogaribue. "They say that, when the throat is cut, the breath escapes it with a sound like the winter wind. I have always wanted to hear that sound. But to hear it coming from my own neck is ridiculous..." — Lone Wolf and Cub
i thought this was a great moment. And what directly followed.

Back on topic though, the protagonist of the movie indicated by the op, ichi (I'll have to watch again, it's been a long time) she was Zatoichi's daughter, no?

Not sure if she was the actual daughter or a girl he took in.

I just ordered the movie from Amazon. You have to love a beautiful little lady who looks so vulnerable but isn't.

I just ordered the movie from Amazon. You have to love a beautiful little lady who looks so vulnerable but isn't. Hello! Step this way, please, there's an entire genre of Japanese horror movies I'd like to introduce you to... (Start with Audition. Almost all the way through you'll think it's just boring you to tears but then it turns out, nope - what it was actually doing was traumatizing you for life! It's great! )
