Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 1990s 'kunoichi' boom that tried mixing historical Yagyu lore with softcore aesthetics. The real Yagyu clan probably spins in their graves.
Yuko Moriyama was a legitimate action star in Japanese V-cinema; this was her leaning into the 'magic ninja' subgenre before it collapsed under its own absurdity.
