NEW IMPROVED VERSION!

At the same time Sho Kosugi was conquering movie screens and introducing the world to ninja, the legendary Chiba Shinichi (aka "Sonny Chiba”) was renewing the ninja genre's credentials back home with five seasons of landmark action TV. Already famous for the brutal Streetfighter series and as the tsuba eye-patched Yagyu Jubei, Chiba would now add historical shadow (Kage) Hattori Hanzo to his quiver of recurring characters. Clad in an iconic armored hood and wielding an exotic 'kabuto' armor-cracking truncheon, Hanzo led a crack unit of undercover ninja operatives on a variety of missions loaded with violent night fights and spectacular stunt work by Chiba's Japan Action Club (JAC). This is the apex of ninja television from Japan, and the season that started it all is now remastered in high clarity DVD!
