Who Was the Ninja Sword Master?


The title says it. He 's obviously highly skilled. He doesn't get a credit, but I think I've seen him in other movies.

If this question seems familiar, it's because I've posted it before. The IMDb shortened the auto deletion timer and it disappeared.

It's all like some bad movie.

I am also interested in knowing who the actor is who played Ninja sword master. It's possible to find just about every other credit for this movie but that one. It's a question that's gnawed at me off and on since I first saw the movie when it came out... like an itch you can't scratch! The fellow seems familiar but can't place him. Stoic to a fault even when engaging multiple 'adversaries' in the Ninja training school..

Ninja have no “sword masters.” NINJA ARE ASSASSINS. They are not warriors. Ninja do not confront. They poison, strangle explode and burn. They are nothing like what Hollywood bullshit betrays them. They cannot wear the topnot. Only Samurai and Sumo wrestlers have that honor. Ninas have no honor.

The guy you saw in this movie may have been a Samurai who whored himself to the movie. Want to see real sword? Watch the final chapter of So Close.
