His adventures were first described in the comic book series "Lone Wolf and Cub", written in the seventies and covering 28(!) volumes in which the man himself and his toddler son kill most of Japan with his trusty Dotanuki sword. The Dotanuki was a battlefield sword with a heavier blade than most carried at the time that could "cut through armour like paper" and could cut through enemies, break swords and even cut a ship's mast in twain without losing its edge. The story of Lone Wolf and Cub would have been a bit shorter if Itto had bought his sword from the Home Shopping Network. -------------------- "Think neither of victory nor of yourself, but only of eating a really big pie."

I've seen a few clips of home shopping screwups and the thing that tickles me is that they try and keep going even with major injuries etc. I mean, would you buy one of those "practice" Katanas after seeing that? -------------------- "Think neither of victory nor of yourself, but only of eating a really big pie."

Besides, I enjoyed the clip all the more as your lead up story was excellent - reminded me of the 'Masters of Death' (I think thats right ) with their big hats. -------------------- "We are number one, all others are number two or lower!" - The Sphinx, Mystery Men "A computer without a Microsoft operating system is like a dog without bricks tied to its head" - annon "What a terrible thing to have lost one's mind.
