Who do you think was the best Samurai and why?
Kambei Shimada -- The leader (admits to never having won a war) Kikuchiyo -- Peasant turned Samurai wanna be (shot but kills the Bandit leader before dying) Gorobei Katayama -- "your character fascinates me . . . The deepest friendship often comes through a chance meeting" (shot when Kikuchiyo goes out for a gun) Kyuzo -- Expert Swordsman (shot in final battle) Heihachi Hayashida -- of the Woodcut School (died in Bandit camp raid) Shichiroji -- Kambei's old friend Katsushiro Okamoto -- the Apprentice
