Shogun's Ninja

The 1980 Shogun's Ninja is a separate Japanese Toei chanbara film directed by Norifumi Suzuki. Its story follows the Momochi clan and ninja warfare in the Sengoku era, rather than adapting the 2024 FX television series.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi sends Shiranui Shogen to Iga to find the Momochi clan's hidden gold, and Shogen destroys the clan. Momochi Ganmaru escapes to Ming China, returns to Japan ten years later, and seeks revenge.

Hiroyuki Sanada plays Momochi Takamaru, an early prominent leading role in his film career. Sonny Chiba plays Shiranui Shogen, and Etsuko Shiomi plays Ai-Lian.

It is a 1980 Japanese film distributed by Toei and runs about 117 minutes. Norifumi Suzuki directed it, with an ensemble that includes Yuki Ninagawa and Shohei Hino.
