Onimusha: Way of the Sword brings Japanese cinematic royalty to the samurai fantasy series
Briefly

Capcom is reviving the Onimusha series with 'Onimusha: Way of the Sword,' featuring a new protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi. Fans of feudal Japan swordplay can expect modern gameplay mechanics, including a sentient Oni gauntlet that assists with puzzles and combat. The character's face is modeled after legendary actor Toshiro Mifune, connecting the game to historical narrative and cinema. This sequel aims to capture a blend of nostalgia and innovation by avoiding static backgrounds and enhancing player interaction with the game world.
In short, he was arguably the most famous samurai actor there ever was. I'm not counting Tom Cruise.
Players will control Miyamoto Musashi, a legendary (but historically real) Japanese swordsman, artist and writer.
We were shown some mild puzzle-solving, using the power of the Oni gauntlet to see invisible demons and unlock areas that were spiritually blocked.
This is interesting, but the more compelling wrinkle is that his face is modeled on the legendary (but historically real) actor Toshiro Mifune.
