Eleven Samurai (Japanese: 十一人の侍, romaji: Jūichinin no Samurai), also known as 11 Samurai, is a 1967 Japanese jidaigeki (period drama) film directed by Eiichi Kudo.[1][2][3] This is the third and final chapter in Kudo's Samurai Revolution trilogy. The plot is a samurai epic with a loose historical basis. "The young Lord Nariatsu was probably modeled after the real life figure of Matsudaira Nariyoshi, also known as Matsudaira Tokunosuke (1819-1839),"[4] who was the 19th or the 20th son of the Shōgun Ienari (1787–1837) and the younger brother of the Shōgun Ieyoshi (1837–1853). "Nariyoshi died when he was 19 years old--a perfect fit for this story. The circumstances surrounding his death are obscure, which is also very convenient for dramatic purposes."[4]
