  AAW: The Dagger of Kamui Review
Left with nothing but the dagger he found by the body of his foster mother--the Dagger of Kamui--Jiro is taken in by Tenkai, the head of a powerful ninja clan and a an evil Buddhist monk.
The Dagger of Kamui is a true anime classic, a historical epic full of action, intertwined fates, interesting characters, and subtle mysticism.
I would go so far as to say the Dagger of Kamui is the ultimate ninja movie, not because of its spectacular violence or the protagonists' feats of stealth (though it has some of both), but because of its combination of grand scale, artistry, and down-to-earth human connection.

 Dagger of Kamui   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
I first heard about The Dagger of Kamui by reading a synopsis booklet called "A Viewer's Guide To Japanese Animation," which was distributed for Baycon back in 1986 and printed for mass distribution in 1987.
To tell you the whole plot of the movie would be impossible, simply because The Dagger of Kamui is simply one of the most convoluted stories I've ever seen wrapped around an essentially simple tale of revenge.
The basic story is this: young Jiro is wrongfully accused of murdering his mother and sister, who found him years ago floating down the river, and he must escape the lynch mob.

 AnimeOnDVD.com >> Disc Reviews >> Dagger of Kamui
Originally airing back in 1985, Dagger of Kamui is one of those defining films of an anime generation with its powerful visuals and excellent score that was backed by Haruki Kadokawa.
The story of Kamui is a solid one, though the film definitely lacks some of the punch it once had as the world of anime has definitely come a long way in terms of graphic violence.
Dagger of Kamui is a beautiful epic film that takes a young boy and places him on a violent path, but one that leads to enlightenment for him and discovery of his true roots.

 The Dagger of Kamui Original Soundtrack
The only two tracks that sound very 80's are "Kamui no Ken" (The Dagger of Kamui) and "Kamui no Komoriuta" (Kamui's Lullaby), both sung by Watanabe Noriko.
"Kamui no Ken" is an upbeat song, reflecting the hopes that the hero, Jiro, has for the future.
"Kamui no Komoriuta" doesn't sound like a lullaby with all the musical accompaniment and would probably sound better if the music was arranged with different instruments.

02-14-2004 08:41 PM Dagger of Kamui and Blade of Kamui are the same thing.
Blade of Kamui was the name for the video release, but it was changed to "Dagger" for the dvd release.

 AAW: The Dagger of Kamui Quick Review
It follows a grand quest across the changing world landscape of the 1800s, blending the framework of a ninja movie with the style of a reserved samurai drama to produce a film that has both exciting (yet artistic) action and traditionally reserved Japanese drama.
It also manages as well-woven story that evokes a sense of greater purpose and the grand scale that the 19th century world held to its inhabitants while still keeping the human drama at a realistic level.
Don't come looking for mindless action, and be prepared for a lengthy and methodically paced movie, but if you like Japanese history, tales of samurai and ninja, or just a great story, you will almost certainly enjoy the Dagger of Kamui.

 THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - The Dagger of Kamui
Naturally, the villagers blame the deaths on the kid, and he takes the Dagger of Kamui (I guess it's an heirloom or something) and flees off into the night, pursued by his next-door neighbors who want to stone him.
The kid's travel is made more interesting by the fact that he gets attacked by ninjas (probably belonging to the Monolithic Monk) just about every step of the way for the first hour and a half.
The kid with the Dagger travels to all sorts of places and meets all sorts of diverse, uninteresting friends and foes.

"Dagger of Kamui" tells the story of Jiro, a young boy who's adopted mother and sister are murdered by a ninja.
There's a nice relief to know that the god-awful English dub this film suffered with in its first release as the heavil edited "Blade of Kamui" (the English cast sounds like it consists of four people) is no where to be seen, and it can only be watched with the original Japanese cast.
Kamui Nupuri means "mountain of the gods" in the Ainu tongue.

 Midnight Eye Round-Up #22: Anime special
During the dying days of the Tokugawa Era, the clash between those loyal to the shogun's rule and the insurgent Satsuma Clan threatens to crush all those caught in the middle.
A renegade ninja eager to see the end of the shogun's rule due to their systematic oppression of Ezo's indigenous populations, Taroza's legacy to his infant son was the Dagger of Kamui that accompanied him on his arrival in Sai, with kamui meaning "wind of the gods" in Ainu.
However, it is interesting to note that during the 80s the film was released under the title Blade of Kamui in a US edit that took pains to divorce the visuals from its historical and cultural context.

There really isn't much in AnimEigo's DVD release other than the original theatrical trailer, character bios and maps of the places where Jiro traveled during his quest for Captain Kidd's lost treasure.

Song Notes: "Arororo" and "Hoochippu" are but two of the smattering of words from the language of the Ainu, the aboriginal peoples of Japan, that are used in the course of the film.
These explanations seem to fit the words as they are used in the song.
Many of the characters in The Dagger of Kamui are fictionalized versions of actual figures who lived during the period in which the film took place.

 THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Babel II
Babel II gives me the impression that the writer sat down at his desk, scripted the first fifteen minutes, found out the script was due in five minutes, and turned the thing in as is, after which the producers created a two-hour anime out of it.
The difference between Babel II and Dagger of Kamui, of course, was that Dagger of Kamui actually had a coherent, involving plot that ran through the entire anime.
like the Dagger of Kamui, THEM really didn't give a rat's patootie about what happened to anybody by midway through the anime.
