An Introduction Probably the most famous film actor in the history of Japanese cinema, Mifune is inevitably associated with the many Samurai roles he undertook during his long career. The Seven Samurai is his best-known appearance, but he was even better as the wiley manipulator in Yojimbo, for which he won the Best Actor award at Venice. He was terrific in his many collaborations with Kurosawa, yet proved very moving in smaller roles, such as his doomed page in Mizoguchi's melodrama The Life of Oharu.
