The first Mito Kōmon film from Toei, 1957's Lord Mito (aka Lord Mito 1).

Starring Ryunosuke Tsukigata as the retired vice shōgun who wanders the countryside righting wrongs, with Kinnosuke Nakamura and Chiyonosuke Azura as his faithful bodyguards/attendants Suke and Kaku. Mito Kōmon is a fictionalized version of Tokugawa Mitsukuni, an historical figure who was the shōgun's uncle.

I know there were at least three films in the Toei series. Other studios produced their own Mito Komon films, including one from Daiei that co-starred Shintaro (Zatoichi) Katsu and Raizo (Sleepy Eyes of Death) Ichikawa as Suke and Kaku.

The character was so popular that it spawned a Japanese television series that ran continuously from 1969 to 2011, for a total of 1,227 episodes.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT THAT MITOKOUMON IS ALSO A FAN OF WESTERN THINGS??

Argh, there's really always one of those in every generation LOL.

The Mitokoumon in my head is that old guy with yellow hat and purple vest like in old fashioned Japanese TV shows, so djgjgofofj this is so unexpected... Man, I'm slowly learning what it feels like to be so used to a fake trope that The Facts (TM) completely messes you up.

Also, I guess that's why he looks Like This in Akaseka LMAO:

He doesn't seem like he had quite the same WTF flashy guy reputation that Nobu and Masa did, but close enough LOLOL

Mononobe no Futo, helping editing the Sendai Kujou hongi, 8th century: Verily, I must add every Mononobe to this genealogy, my scholarly abilities shall be honored for generations.

Mitsukuni Tokugawa, 17th century: This is bullshit.

Norinaga Motoori, 18th century: Yeah, totally bullshit.

Mononobe no Futo, in current day Gensokyo: Egads!

Sakuya: Mito really does have a lot of beautifully scenic locations.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

⊳ Choice: Is it your first time here, Sakuya?

Sakuya: …I don’t think I’ve gone anywhere else other than Tokyo and Yokohama…

⊳ Choice: Let’s enjoy ourselves since we’re here.

Sakuya: What’s with that super bookmarked and labeled guidebook you have there with you? We’re not here to play, you know…

Tomoharu: Wow… Hey, this stamina ramen looks delicious. Why don’t we come to try it out next time?

Hayate: It’s said that the first person in Japan to ever eat ramen was Lord Mito Mitsukuni.

⊳ Choice: What’s a “Kodokan”?

Hayate: What, you’re from the General Education department, and you know nothing about Japan’s history?

Hayate: It’s the domain school founded by Tokugawa Nariaki, a feudal lord from the Mito Clan.

Hayate: Its development eventually had a great influence on Yoshida Shoin, Saigo Takamori, as well as the other patriots during the final years of the Edo period.

Hayate: This Bizenbori Canel seems to be part of Modern Mito’s eight picturesque sights, including the Hinuma River.

Hayate: It’s a famous historic city that has prospered since ancient times, thanks to the waterborne transport trade of the Naka River.

Joyo Male Student 2: C’mon, c’mon! Seems like it has already started!

Joyo Male Student 1: You were way too slow with that bowl of ramen!

Tomoharu: I wonder what happened? A fight, maybe?

Ginga: Maybe, but hearing them mention ramen makes me want to have a bowl of it for myself too.

Ginga: Stamina ramen chock full of ingredients, huh. But Mito Ramen sounds good too~

Sakuya: Huh? Wait… hang on.

Sakuya: Sensei? Didn’t you just cook rice back at the minivan’s kitchen? And quite a large amount of it too.

Ginga: Huh? Err…

Sakuya: And weren’t you saying how all you had to do was to purchase some side dishes for a perfect lunch?

Ginga: Ehh?  But I can just throw them into the refrigerator, can’t I~?

Sakuya: The refrigerator isn’t capable of holding that much food, and you know that.

Sakuya: Looks like it’s decided then. I’ll go buy some side dishes for us. Ramen next time, yes?

Ginga: …Fine…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Sakuya: Honestly. His lack of planning is shockingly disconcerting.

Sakuya: And you look like you’re having fun with everything and anything, either way… Hm?

Sakuya: This sounds like… a Trumpet? But where is it coming from?

Sakuya: “Let’s go check it out”? Wait- Hey, (L/n)!

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Sakuya: Wow… What a rich and smooth reverberation…

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Joyo Male Student 1: *sobbing* Kirigaya-san… How amazing…

Joyo Male Student 2: My heart’s been rekindled…

Sakuya: Wha- Watch out. This place is filled with dangerous-looking people!

Sakuya: Let’s quickly make our escape, (L/n). We have to get out before they notice us.

⊳ Choice: I want to listen to the performance a little more / I want to know that Trumpeter’s name

Sakuya: Now’s not the time for that!

Yasu: Oh no! Boss! Something terrible happened!

Akira: Hm? What’s happened, Yasu?

Yasu: Some guys from Kasa High are tryin’ to pick a fight out at the bridge! They seem super full of themselves!

Yasu: Our 1st and 2nd years are getting overwhelmed by about 3 or so people.

Akira: Oh? Now that’s some guts they have to be attacking Joyo in broad daylight. 

Akira: They asked for it, so I’m going to play along. Let’s go.

Delinquents: YEAH!

Sakuya: I guess they’re all going out to… fight? Everyone filed out just like that, at a snap of his fingers…

Sakuya: I don’t think they saw us at all.

⊳ Choice: I missed his name.

Sakuya: You mean that Trumpeter? I heard someone addressing him as “Kirigaya-san”?

⊳ Choice: Now my adrenaline’s pumping!

Sakuya: You’re really prone to sticking your nose into things that you really should be steering clear of.

⊳ Choice: Terrifying…

Sakuya: Well, I suppose we should count our lucky stars for having avoided them.

Sakuya: Besides, what is this place? The signboard says “Ouroboros”...

Sakuya: There’s a stage here, but it doesn’t seem to be in use.

Sakuya: Anyway, let’s get out of here quick. It’ll be troublesome if those people come back.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

Ginga: Huh, I see.

Tomoharu: A delinquent Trumpeter? Sounds like Louis Armstrong if you ask me.

⊳ Choice: Louis Armstrong?

Tomoharu: He’s an American Jazz Musician. He was sent to a Juvenile Home as a kid and had many ups and downs in life, but…

Tomoharu: Despite facing discrimination,  he was a brilliantly talented genius Trumpeter.

⊳ Choice: Yeah…

Tomoharu: I should have gone with you guys.

Tomoharu: “Ouroboros”...? I recall that that was the name of the Jazz  Café & Bar that opened for business a couple of years ago.

Tomoharu: Here, look. This video seems to have been taken from when the place was still in business.

☆ ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♬◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ☆

I saw 2 Trumpets being played on the video that Narumiya showed me on his phone.

⊳ Choice: It’s the guy from earlier!

Tomoharu: What? This performer’s the same guy you saw earlier? Wow. He’s definitely good…

Ginga: We can’t really see the other guy. The video’s too dark.

Tomoharu: It looks like this video was shot from the audience, after all.

Hayate: This uniform looks like Joyo Technical High School’s; the same school that Osakabe-san is in.

Tomoharu: What?

Sakuya: Come to think of it… Those guys were saying something about “Joyo” as well…

⊳ Choice:  Let’s check out Joyo Technical High School.

Hayate: Yeah. We’re going to ask Osakabe-san to join us, so we might as well drop by.

Sakuya: That’s the school that those guys we saw are attending, right? I’m already having a bad feeling about this…

i think Kuni's original name was Hozo (保蔵) which means "to defend, ensure, and store" sounds pretty similar to the task he was created for right? also it's the original name of the real life Niwa Nagakuni (丹羽長国) (and we've seen all 3 parts of this guy's name in genshin 👀)

alternatively his name is likely inspired by Tokugawa Mitsukuni (徳川 光圀)/Mito Kōmon (水戸黄門) who was the son of the first Tokugawa Shogun and now is regarded as a kami (god). his childhood names were Chomaru (長丸) and Chiyomatsu (千代松) — interestingly this guy oversaw Kinbyōzan Zuisen-ji, also known as the Temple of Flowers. and his life was dramatized in narratives that portray him as a wanderer, masquerading as a commoner, who castigated the evil powers in every corner of the nation.

Goes hand-in-hand with Taloon and I've been sitting on it for a special occasion. #600 sounds like a good one! Especially since I just crossed my 1yr anniversary on tumblr. Who caught this reference? It's one of those just about any Japanese reader Oda's age would get but would be a tricky one here. These are the three dudes who shake down Sanji's Soba stand by the way.

Maaaybe you're thinking of Kin's swords, Suke-san & Kaku-san. Same reference. Add Kuni and you have the lead trio from Mito Komon, a massively popular jidaigeki that ran from 1969-2011. Think like, the Japanese equivalent of Gunsmoke or Bonanza but even bigger. Kuni is is short for the lead, based off a real retired daimyo from history Tokugawa Mitsukuni, and Suke/Kaku were his retainers. Wanderers who deal with some troublemaker of the week, weirdly enough people were already spinning tales of Mitsukuni doing that during the Meiji Period. So he was already a folk hero before the TV Show. It’s funny to see them as the bad guys in this role knowing that.

RECITING WITH YOU IN THE GLOWING RED WORLD

"Sakura Spectrum: Welcoming Delegates from Afar" - PART 1

━

Following the riverbank adorned with cherry blossoms, we arrive at the viewing spot, where everyone who had arrived earlier welcomes us with smiles.

NATSUME SOUSEKI : Sorry to keep you all waiting~ I wanted to show up earlier, but my manuscript wasn't finished.

OMOIKANE : It's okay. We had things to finish up on our end too. 

ONO NO IMOKO : I heard you were busy setting up the venue. Thanks for your hard work. 

SERIZAWA KAMO : Alright. Now that everyone's here.

As we settle into our seats, cups are distributed.

SERIZAWA KAMO : Despite all the challenges we faced, let's appreciate the opportunity to drink under the cherry blossom trees once again this year.

EVERYONE : Cheers!

-

The banquet features a variety of dishes, including sake personally recommended by Kamo-san and delicacies from all over the world.

NATSUME SOUSEKI : Wow! It's an impressive spread. Makes it tough to figure out where to start~

AYUMI : Indeed. It all looks delicious. 

SERIZAWA KAMO : I had them brought in from my favorite restaurant. I can vouch for both the presentation and the taste.

SHIMA SAKON : In addition to Kamo-san's recommendation, Mitsukuni-san's taste test rated it four and a half stars!

TOKUGAWA MITSUKUNI : Almost a perfect five, and with the sake, it's definitely a five-star dish!

TAKASUGI SHINSAKU : Well, if YOU rate it so high then I'm eager to try it....Ah? It's true! This is amazing!

SERIZAWA KAMO : Told you so.

OMOIKANE : Shinsaku-kun, aren't you usually accustomed to more refined banquets in the Land of Elegance?

TAKASUGI SHINSAKU : Yeah. Banquets in the Land of Elegance are nice too. But, the cherry blossom viewing here is colorful and fun.

FUJIWARA NO MICHINAGA : Indeed. People from all walks of life, nobles and commoners alike, seem to be enjoying themselves. It creates a wonderful atmosphere.

NATSUME SOUSEKI : The free-spirited vibe is really nice~ While cherry blossoms are stunning wherever you encounter them, it's fascinating how the atmosphere varies across different regions.

ONO NO IMOKO : There are so many people gathered here today. Perhaps it's because the cherry blossom trees are all located in one place?

TAKASUGI SHINSAKU : Come to think of it, you're right. I never knew such a breathtaking place existed.

SERIZAWA KAMO : Yeah. It's what I like to call, a hidden gem.

TAKASUGI SHINSAKU : Why did we choose to hold it here, though? We usually have cherry blossom viewing in town, don't we?

At the question, Kamo-san raises his cup and takes a sip.

SERIZAWA KAMO : Actually, there were some unavoidable circumstances. 

Kamo-san proceeds to explain the unique circumstances surrounding this year's cherry blossom viewing to the newly arrived guests...

The Japan No One Knows. Ukiyoe artist Hiroshige Ando, the site depicted by Van Gogh Umeyashiki Fushimi Inari Shrine, a paradise of plum blossoms

In the Edo period, a place famous for its plum blossoms was called Umeyashiki. Mitsukuni Mito and Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune also came here to view the plum blossoms.

Hiroshige Utagawa left a nishikie (woodblock print) of the site, which was copied by Van Gogh.

Many people gathered here to see the blossoms.

Now it sits at the end of a very narrow alley. Even so, it is a sanctuary of purity where one can see that it has been cherished.

Weekend Bento] "Mito Inro Bento" at Mito Station

Mito in Ibaraki Prefecture is associated with Mitsukuni Tokugawa = Mito Komon. The name “Kimon-sama” means “Inro” in Japanese, and “Inro” means “seal” in Japanese. The “Mito Inro Bento” is an ekiben that comes in a two-tiered box shaped like an Inro (seal case). Of course, the promised hollyhock crest is also depicted. The upper section features side dishes seasoned with flavors typical of Mito,…

Mito Komon: Voyage To Ezo (1961).

Tokugawa Mitsukuni was a nephew of Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of Japan's Tokugawa Shōgunate (1603-1868), and the daimyo of Mito Domain. After his death in 1701, Mitsukuni-sama's life was fictionalized into a kōdan (an oral story) entitled Mito Mitsukuni Man'yūki, that told of his extensive travels.

The kōdan was dramatized for the stage several times, then became a novel, Mito Komon, a television series in 1951, and numerous films from nearly every studio in Japan.

Mito Komon is a former vice-shōgun and retired daimyo. He is disguised as a commoner, a retired crepe merchant named Mitsuemon. He is accompanied by two young samurai: the mischievous Sasaki Sukesaburo (aka Duke-san), and the more serious Atsumi Kakunoshin (Kaku-san). The three wander Japan, righting wrongs along the way.

The scenarios are always the same: traveling incognito, the trio discover some nefarious plot or wrongdoings. They investigate, expose the evildoer(s), fight and defeat the bad guys, then Mitsuemon reveals his true identity and passes judgement. The three men then head off to find the next problem to solve.

Formulaic, but it works. So well, in fact, that a Mito Komon television series that debuted in 1969 ran for 42 (!!!!!!!!!!!) seasons! All while additional film versions were released to theaters!

Anyhoo, in this film directed by Kunio Watanabe, Daiei Film decided to go all out. The studio's three biggest stars were cast as the heroic trio: Shintaro (Zatoichi) Katsu as Kaku-san, Raizo (Nemuri Kyoshiro) Ichikawa as Suke-san - both cast against type, which I loved - and Kazuo Hasegawa as Mitsuemon.

The story involves the trio taking a trip to the island of Ezo, known now as Hokkaido. There they get involved in some troubles brewing on the island between the native Ainu people, the ruling Matsumae clan, Russian pirates/gunrunners, and all sorts of other shenanigans.

To top it off, Hasegawa-san does double duty as both Lord Ito and the Grand Chief of the Ainu, getting plenty of screen time in bargain.

All in all, quite an enjoyable romp! It left me wanting to see these three actors continuing their adventures across Japan. However, it appears that it's some unwritten tradition that the trio - at least in the films - always be played by different actors (at least that's what I've surmised from my limited research; please correct me if I'm wrong).

In the meantime I'll be hunting down more Mito Komon films. I just learned today that there's a mid-1960s one with the late, great Akira Takarada as Suke-san that I'm eager to watch.

Matsuo Basho Hah--!

Villager A Gah!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni Basho, behind you!

Matsuo Basho --!

Villager B We won't let you hurt Inari-sama!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni Yah--!

Villager B Ugh!

Matsuo Basho Huff, huff...... There's no end to this......

Tokugawa Mitsukuni It seems that the villagers are under Nine Tails' illusions, and they are completely being controlled by her. Let's end this with as little casualties as possible.

Matsuo Basho Understood.

Tokugawa Mitsukuni (However, running around won't help......) (Thanks to Nine Tails' illusions, the villagers don't feel any form of pain, becoming a monster that only knows to attack their enemies.) (Things will turn for the worst if left as it is)

Nine Tails Do you fancy my illusions, Mitsukuni?

Tokugawa Mitsukuni Nine Tails! Undo the illusions on the villagers this instant! Let's have a one-on-one match between us!

Nine Tails Undo? I don't mind. But, will those over there accept it, I wonder? Rather than facing the truth where they have no food, the villagers themselves chose the path of illusions.

Tokugawa Mitsukuni ......What? Did you just say the villagers chose to be your pawns?

Nine Tails Yes. After experiencing the many years of drought due to the Marebito's influence, this village has become nothing but a wasteland. Even so, the castle lord of this domain turned a blind eye from the truth and continued to press heavy land tax on the villagers. Those who have no escape route then started offering their prayers to the marebitos. Goodness, rather than marebitos with unknown origins, don't you think it's more credible praying to a divine beast such as I? That's why I used my illusions to show them their dreams. And that's the story of how they came to worship me as Inari-sama.

Tokugawa Mitsukuni What.......?

Nine Tails I gave them their last hope for survival. Once the illusion comes undone, they will have no choice but to face the cruel and hopeless reality. That's why they will never betray me. Isn't that right, village chief?

Village Chief Yes, that is absolutely right, Inari-sama. We can't live without Inari-sama......

Tokugawa Mitsukuni What is the point of giving in that easily......? All of those are mere fabrications!

Village Chief We know. There's no way we wouldn't! Unless food starts falling from the skies, there will be marebito sneaking about outside the village. However, Inari-sama protected us from those marebitos, and even chased away the tax collectors! But when the shogunate came for the first time, they only cared about their own appearances! They didn't even spare a single glance at our livelihood!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni Village chief...... (How could we befall atrocities upon these people......) (To think we would corner our people this far......!) (However, drowning themselves in illusions is far more dangerous!) Village chief, you are a praiseworthy person indeed, as you still think about your village in such situations. However, entrusting your village's future to illusions, will not solve any of the underlying problems. Look at yourself, and all the villagers! Neither your bodies nor mind can handle the illusions any longer!

Village Chief Wh-, what.......

Tokugawa Mitsukuni At this rate, both you and the villagers will die from Nine Tails' illusion! My name is Mito Mitsukuni. Your food problems and even the land taxes. I will take responsibility for as many of your problems as I can. That is why, wake up! This is no time to run away from reality!

Village Chief I-, is that true......? You will do that for us......?

*light flashes on the village chief*

Village Chief Gaaah!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni --! Nine Tails, what have you done to the village chief!?

Nine Tails Hmph, it's that great that he's useless? He was easily won over with mere flattery! Now you shall become one of my obedient puppets along with the villagers!

Village Chief Ugh......Aaahh......!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni Stop it! Stop! Haaaa--!

Village Chief I won't let you...... lay a finger on Nine Tails-sama......!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni Ngh!

Nine Tails *Giggle*, you did well. Get him, my dear servants!

Villagers Yeaaaah--!

Matsuo Basho Mitsukuni-sama, they are completely being controlled by Nine Tails. If we hold back, we will be the ones in danger!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni ......How...... did this happen......!?

Matsuo Basho Mitsukuni-sama. Please leave the unpleasant tasks to us.

Tokugawa Mitsukuni No...... Basho, I have to be one to do it...... I have to end this with my own two hands!

_____________________________________________________

*sword clashes* *hurt Nine Tails*

Nine Tails Aaahh! Oww...... How dare you...... How dare you hurt me--!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni It won't end with just defeating you. I will seal you instead without fail! With this Sesho-seki!

Nine Tails No......NOO! I don't want to be seal--! Tokugawa Mitsukuni! If it's me, I can become your strength. I can even save this country, Nakatsu!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni --!

Nine Tails You've travelled to various places so you should understand! The shogunate is filled with those type of corrupted politicians who wouldn't bat even an eye for the people. If I use my illusions on them, everything will be solved!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni ......Are you telling me to use illusions to manipulate the hearts of men?

Nine Tails Ye-, yes! I can even make you the shogun. That way you'll be able to save the people you want to save! "The Hero of Justice", that's what you are called, right?

Tokugawa Mitsukuni "The Hero of Justice", ...... huh? Nine Tails, to someone such as you who manipulate people using illusions, you don't understand the meaning of that alias. The first time you achieve "honour" with your own two hands, that's the legitimate way of gaining the trusts of the people! Those who play with the hearts of men using illusions has no right to speak of "justice"! Nine Tails, no matter how you try to persuade me, I'll never take your offer! Be gone!

Nine Tails Aaahhh！

Matsuo Basho Mitsukuni-sama, this is your chance!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni Sweet dreams, Nine Tails!

*light flashes*

Nine Tails Aaaahhhh--! Curse you...... Tokugawa Mitsukuni.......!

Tokugawa Mitsukuni Case closed, huh...... However, the village is completely destroyed...... Shit...... If only we came earlier......

Matsuo Basho Mitsukuni-sama...... There's no need for you to feel responsible. This incident were all orchestrated by the marebitos and Nine Tails--

Tokugawa Mitsukuni --Is it really as such? (No...... it's different. It's as if the shogunate also has a hand in this) (When the people are struggling to survive, not only did they not lend a hand, they didn't even try to listen to their pleas......) (The reason Nakatsu ended up like this is not only due to the marebitos) (I...... need to find out) (--The most reliable way to save Nakatsu)

~~FIN~~
