Control of the village is split between a former travelling merchant Eboshiya and his son Masagoro. Eboshiya befriends Zatoichi, and seeks his aid against Masagoro's minder, the drunken samurai Yojimbo the "crooked crook". When a masseur is killed, amidst rumours that a large amount of gold has been secreted in the village, the two factions begin to size each other up. It is at this point that Masagoro's younger son suddenly decides his father needs more protection and calls on the services of the contract killer Kuzuryu. As the two sides fight, Ichi finds the gold and sets up a final set of confrontations.

Yojimbo is a 1961 jidaigeki (period drama) film directed by Akira Kurosawa. It tells the story of a ronin, portrayed by Toshiro Mifune, who arrives in a small town where competing crime lords vie for supremacy. The two bosses each try to hire the deadly newcomer as a bodyguard (yojimbo in Japanese). The 1970 film Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo also features Mifune as a similar character. It is the twentieth of a series of movies featuring the blind swordsman Zatoichi. Although Mifune is clearly not playing the same man (his name is Sassa, and his personality and background are different in many key respects), the movie's title and some of its content do intend to suggest the image of the two iconic jidaigeki characters confronting each other. Incident at Blood Pass, made in the same year, also stars Mifune in a role similar to that of Yojimbo. (Wikipedia)
Fernsehserie Von 1974 bis 1979 wurde in Japan eine 100-teilige Zatōichi-Fernsehserie in vier Staffeln produziert. 1989 ließ sich Hollywood von den Geschichten um den blinden japanischen Masseur inspirieren und produzierte die von Phillip Noyce gedrehte Neuverfilmung Blinde Wut (1989), mit Rutger Hauer in der Rolle eines blinden Vietnamveteranen.
