"Apparently, the idea behind having Mifune as the face of the upcoming Onimusha game came from Nihei trying to visualize “what it is about samurai that makes them actually cool.” The answer he came up with was the tenacity, seeing them struggle but still keep on fighting till the end – and the only historical figure that matches his idea of a perfect samurai would be Musashi Miyamoto, one of Japan’s most renowned swordsmen. Looking for ideas of how to portray Miyamoto, Nihei turned to Japanese classical cinema. In particular, he was looking for a person that would fit the description of “a young samurai who fights roughly, covered in blood and mud,” which is when he realized Toshiro Mifune would be the perfect candidate. Not only did Mifune play the lead role in the 1954 film Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto, but he was also an international star, known for his roles in critically acclaimed Akira Kurosawa movies like Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo etc."
