Seventeen Ninja (1963)
With the Shogun on his deathbed, seventeen Iga clan ninjas embark on a perilous mission to infiltrate a fortified castle. Their goal is to either retrieve documents that would legitimize the youngest son’s claim to power or eliminate him entirely. However, they soon encounter a formidable adversary: a cunning ninja hunter aligned with the ambitious usurper, Konoe. This relentless foe anticipates their every strategy, thanks to spies inside Edo Castle. As the Iga ninjas are systematically taken down, the fate of their mission—and the realm—rests on the shoulders of an unseasoned young ninja named Kotaro.
