sentences:  Sanjuro, played by Toshiro Mifune, is the wandering ronin character who acts as a yojimbo (bodyguard) in two of Kurosawa's films, "Yojimbo" and "Sanjuro".In both films, 三十郎 Sanjuro (a proper given name but which can also be interpreted as meaning "thirty-years-old") makes up a different surname (桑畑 Kuwabatake which means "mulberry field", and 椿 Tsubaki which means "camellia"), thus leading some to label the character as a "ronin with no name", in reference to the Man with No Name character who was directly inspired by "Yojimbo" and portrayed by Clint Eastwood in Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilogy" of spaghetti Western films.Mifune later played analogous roles in two films released in 1970, the Zatoichi film "Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo" (as 佐々大作 Sasa Daisaku), and "Incident at Blood Pass" (as 鎬刀三郎 Shinogi Tōzaburō = "ridges on a sword" Tozaburo), the two 1972-1974 TV series "Ronin of the Wilderness" and "Yojimbo of the Wilderness" (as 峠九十郎 Tōge Kujūrō = "Mountain pass" Kujuro), the 1975 TV series "The Sword, the Wind, and the Lullaby" (as 砦十三郎 Toride Jūzaburō = "Fortress" Juzaburo), the 1976 TV series "Ronin in a Lawless Town" (as ミスターの旦那 Misutā no Danna = "Mister customer"), the 1981 TV movie series "The Lowly Ronin" (as 春夏秋冬 Shunka Shūtō = "Spring-Summer Autumn-Winter"), and the 1983 TV movie "The Secret of Cruel Valley" (as 素浪人 Surōnin = "Lowly ronin").
