Senkosha Productions was responsible for creating the Japanese television series The Samurai, which aired in the early 1960s and was based on historical fiction. Onmitsu Kenshi was the name given to it in its native Japanese language. The first episode of the series aired on TBS in1962, and the show continued to air uninterruptedly until1965, completing ten distinct story arcs that typically consisted of thirteen episodes each. A stage production and two feature films, both of which were made in 1964 by the same crew that was responsible for creating the television series, were also produced by the Toei Company. Despite the fact that its initial budget was so meager, The Samurai ended up being an enormously successful film. It was the very first time that a Japanese television program had ever been broadcast in Australia, and it made its debut there in 1964. Since then, it has amassed an impressively large following among the younger members of the Australian audience, and it has become a fan favorite in a short amount of time. In spite of the fact that the series was a hit in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and the Philippines, it was not extensively screened in other parts of the world, and as a result, its notoriety is primarily confined to those five nations. It was followed in 1965 by the spin-off series The New Samurai, which featured an entirely new main character. However, the series was canceled after just 39 episodes, in contrast to the 128 episodes that the original series had aired. In1973, a color television series was also produced for a total of 26 new episodes as part of an unsuccessful attempt at a remake, which was followed by a reboot that only lasted for a short time. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company was the sponsor for each and every one of the television programs.
