Search 4 Shintaro

[simonmoves]

nicely done-but it be better if you looked for the actor-Koichi Ose or anyone else-related-most wont even know what /when the tv show was on--yes,most of the show was filmed outside in real locations for the budgeting-and it looked really good-oah ,whos there -oh its you tombie-why they wont repeat the series is because of the voilence of samarai sword fighting--seems now--we are real nutters and cant distinuish between tv and reality..thanks for posting

Thanks for the feedback simonmoves.

Would love to find some of the old shintaro crew for a chat.

Kyoto movie village has lots of displays from the era of tv during the 60z ...many familiar faces including one of my favs Amatsu Bin who played a variety of roles usually protagonist eg

Many thanks I really enjoyed that, I'm a keen Shintaro fan of the 60's.

I had the full Shintaro getup, wig, swords, shuriken all made of plastic from the toyshop.

Scanlons had 'Sanurai' cards in their bubble gum. I used to buy the cards and ditch the bubble gum... Also, damned surprised that I didn't die very young from home made star-knife wounds... I loved this show!

So Ega is a place! I just used to think they were really keen. When I was a little kid I figured if I practiced long enough I'd be able to jump backwards on to the roof of my house. Never made much progress...

When I was about 12 or 13 (in Sydney), all my friends and I laughed at the TV show because we thought it was both execrable and funny (especially the dubbing) ... but we all made star knives in Metalwork at school. And we used to have fun speaking as though we were dubbing. Thanks for this entertaining clip ... well done. :)

what a pity you didn't go to Ega....it's deep south of osaka, and there they have a ninja museum, complete with houses, and a history of ninja equipment, tools, and hust about everything there is to know about ninja.,....and THAt is REALLY in the middle of nowhere...and--of course---you should go to odawarra castle, shintaro's headquarters.....garry--brisba­ne...i have the wig.....

There were scanlen collector cards too, for the Shinataro tvseries.

Well done. So can we assume this is one of the houses they used in the filming of The Samurai? My all time favourite series. In fact, me and a mate had some of the original TV prints and we showed the shows in cinemas in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Another mate in Brissie owns the wig that Koichi Ose (Shintaro) wore in the series. They also made 2 movies. I got copies but they are not dubbed.

Hi I am just replying to this video response to the Shintaro I had up. Very interesting indeed!

I went to the Samurai's performance at Festival Hall in Melbourne. Disappointing because the ninjas jumped off small trampolines rather than up entire waterfalls! And Shintaro only appeared a few times. Oh, and Tombei the Mist's favourite line was: "What's that, why you!"

Apparently when Ose Koichi (Shintaro) arrived at Essendon airport he got a bigger reception than the Beatles did a few weeks earlier. I assume you got the footage of the original series from a DVD. Can you upload some parts of an episode? It would be good to hear Tonbei the mist cry "Ah, Iga ninja!", and have Shintaro tell him "Quick, act like a tree!" as they jump backwards onto the branch of a pine tree one.

I was talking to one of my Japanese students about the show "The Samurai" (called 'Onmitsu Kenshi' Spy Swordsman in Japanese) and telling him how it was incredibly popular in Australia during the sixties.
