Nishikie Edosugata Hatamoto to Machiyakko (The Color Print of Edo: Hatamoto to Machiyakko), released in 1938: A hatamoto was a samurai living in the Edo era serving directly under Shogun Tokugawa of the Edo Shogunate, who could take great pride in the fact that his rank was equivalent to that of a daimyo (lord). This is not to say that every hatamoto was suitable for such a high rank, there were also misguided hatamoto , called hatamotoyakko , rage-filled men who formed gangs and committed acts of violence. Those that rose to fight against the hatamotoyakko were called machiyakko , and they were the first kyokaku (chivalrous heroes) of Japan. In this film, Utaemon Ichikawa plays the role of the main character, a man born into the house of a hatamoto , but who detests the idea of becoming a prideful samurai so much that he becomes a machiyakko and begins to pick fights with the hatamotoyakko who are bullying the townsfolk, winning the acclaim of the people of the town in the process. A born free spirit, he is happy to be a hero. He executes a very thrilling plan to help out his older brother, a samurai unable to be in a relationship with the servant woman that he loves. (Tadao Sato)
