yup - 26 movies and over 100 episodes of the tv series.
he also played "hanzo the razor" in 3 films.
they just came out on dvd a few months ago.
they are outrageous and hilarious in a way only the japanese can be.
i only mention it because hanzo is a VERY different character than ichi.
i'll just say the "sword of justice" is not... well, not made of steel.
