Zatoichi Challenged
1967 · Movie · 86 min · ★ 6.9
A dying woman begs Zatoichi to reunite her son with the father he has never met, but when the masseur searches for the man, he discovers that he has been forced by a local yakuza boss to pay off his gambling debts in an unusual way: by painting illegal erotica. Determined to bring father and son together, Zatoichi pits his skills against the gangsters and a ronin who is not entirely what he seems.
