Toshirō Mifune (April 1, 1920 – December 24, 1997) was a Japanese actor, celebrity and dignified samurai of good lineage. During his lifetime he was one of the most powerful and respected actors in Japan, commanding the respect of any peasant or geisha he happened upon, or else killing them ceremoniously.

Mifune gained notoriety in the 1950s and 60s for his collaborations with most noble director Akira Kurosawa, a relationship Mifune described as being "as lithe as a bluebell in Spring", and "stimulating like the Harvest Moon". Together they made 18 films and captured more than 25 castles. (Full article...)
