Sukedachiya Sukeroku 助太刀屋助六 (2001)

Unsubtitled. Seems to be a riff on the Edo kabuki character of Sukeroku, the son of a samurai who disguises himself as a peasant and avenges wronged farmers. In this version, the energetic (and slightly goofy) Sukeroku becomes an entrepreneurial vengeance-broker. And business is very good until he returns to his hometown after a 7-year absence. Sanada Hiroyuki stars as the likeable (and pants-less) Sukeroku.
