Directed by: Kenji Misumi This is the original version of the traditional story of master swordsman Momotaro Zamurai in a theatrical version. Ichikawa Raizo is terrific in the double roles of ‘Demon Crusader’ (Onitaiji Momotaro) and his twin brother, Wakagi Shinnosuke, heir to the Sanuki clan. This long sought after classic from the brilliant team of Ichikawa Raizo and Misumi Kenji is one of the most charming and enjoyable movies in many years. Based on the Japanese folktale of the Peach Boy who fights evil, Momotaro bursts on the scene only to discover an evil plot by high ranking officials of his brother’s clan to usurp the succession process and install a new successor.
