After losing both an eye and an arm to treachery while on a mission for his clan, Samanosuke (Kinnosuke NAKAMURA aka Kinnosuke YOROZUYA) becomes a ronin who calls himself TANGE Sazen. When a stolen urn that contains the secret to a treasure worth a million gold coins falls into his one remaining hand, all sorts of villains, including a high-ranking Shogunate minister, plot to relieve him of his burden — and his life.
Unfortunately for them, TANGE has developed a unique and deadly one-handed fighting style, which means his enemies will have their hands full — at least while they still have their heads!
TANGE Sazen is one of Japan's most popular samurai characters, the equivalent of Zorro or The Lone Ranger in the West.
Starring the legendary Kinnosuke NAKAMURA (Miyamoto Musashi, Bushido-The Cruel Code of the Samurai)
Directed by master Hideo GOSHA (Onimasa, The Geisha, The Wolves)
