Anecdotes

Kibakichi a 2003 Japanese jidaigeki film directed by Tomoo Haraguchi. The film is about a youkai swordsman with the ability to transform himself into a werewolf-like beast at will and feed on human flesh.

Production

Kibakichi was a follow-up to director's Tomo'o Haraguchi's Sakuya (2000). Kibakichi is a yokai, a type of creature from Japanese folklore that appear in various shapes and sizes. During this period of Japanese cinema, many films were adaptations of manga and while a Kibakichi manga existed, the film's director only took the name Kibakichi and the idea of a masterless samurai who can transform into a werewolf-like creature.

Among the film's cast was Ryuji Harada, a popular Japanese television actor. Haraguchi stated that he wanted the film to belong to the jidaigeki (Japanese historical) genre, and to feature a lot of sword fighting. As there are not many actors who were good at tachimawari (stage fighting), Harada had the advantage of some experience by having done historical television dramas before.
