Editing Lone Wolf and Cub (section)

===Films===
A total of six ''Lone Wolf and Cub'' films starring Tomisaburo Wakayama as Ogami Ittō and Tomikawa Akihiro as Daigoro were produced based on the manga. They are also known as the ''Sword of Vengeance'' series, based on the English-language title of the first film, and later as the ''Baby Cart'' series, because young Daigoro travels in a baby carriage pushed by his father.

The first three films, directed by Kenji Misumi, were released in 1972 and produced by [[Shintaro Katsu]], Wakayama's brother and the star of the 26-part ''[[Zatoichi]]'' film series. The next three films were produced by Wakayama himself and directed by [[Buichi Saitō]], [[Kenji Misumi]], and Yoshiyuki Kuroda, released in 1972, 1973, and 1974, respectively. Wakayama quit making the films after the popular television series began to air.<ref>''Lame d'un père, l'âme d'un sabre'' (2005). Wild Side Films. Event occurs at 41.</ref>
