Damn, I haven't even heard about this before. I have half dozen movies from Sonny Chiba in my collection, Street Fighters and some samurai movies. Closest thing to that in tv-series I have is Lone Wolf and Cub (1973-76), which is not par with the movie series, but still nice.This one can be damn hard to find these days but Shadow Warriors aka Kage no Gundan, an iconic Japanese ninja tv-series from the 80s with Sonny Chiba (and in later seasons a young Hiroyuki Sanada of recent Shogun fame!).
That show kicks all kinds of ass!
