Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (子連れ狼 子を貸し腕貸しつかまつる, Kozure Ōkami: Kowokashi udekashi tsukamatsuru) is a 1972 Japanese chambara film directed by Kenji Misumi. [2] [3] [1] The film tells the story of Ogami Ittō, a wandering assassin for hire who is accompanied by his young son, Daigoro.
Based on the best-selling manga series, the six intensely kinetic Lone Wolf and Cub films elevated chanbara to bloody new heights. The shogun’s executioner, Itto Ogami (Tomisaburo Wakayama), takes to wandering the countryside as an assassin—along with his infant son Daigoro (Akihiro Tomikawa) and a seemingly infinitely weaponized perambulator—helping those he encounters while seeking vengeance for his murdered wife.
