For all of you salivating for Live action Ninja stuff, Japan’s Yoichi Sai’s cooked up a heaping helping! Kamui Gaiden is a live action film adaptation of Sanpei Shirato’s Legend of Kamui manga series from the 60′s. Ken’ichi Matsuyama (Death Note) plays the lead role of the rogue ninja being hunted by his own clan.
It also stars Koyuki from Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai. That aside, this looks to be the honest to goodness real thing, for those whose tastes extend past Isaac Florentine’s upcoming Ninja and G.I. Joe. Anime heads will remember this story from the classic film Dagger of Kamui. You can also check out pics and such (if you read Japanese) here.

It opens September 19th in Japan.

Check out the trailer and pics!
