The 1969 anime Ninpuu Kamui Gaiden (known internationally as Samurai Kamui or Kamui the Ninja), has arrived on TubiTV complete with an English dub and subtitles. This action-packed series follows Kamui, a skilled ninja who abandons his clan only to be relentlessly hunted by them as a traitor.
Produced by Tatsunoko Production, the studio behind Speed Racer and Gatchaman, the 26-episode series chronicles Kamui's desperate flight across feudal Japan. His intelligence and formidable abilities are constantly tested as he evades his pursuers, grappling with increasing paranoia that everyone is out to kill him.
Adapted from Sanpei Shirato's manga, Ninpuu Kamui Gaiden offers a gritty, historical look at the life of a ninja, blending martial arts action with the psychological toll of being a fugitive. Its availability on Tubi provides a rare opportunity to revisit a foundational work in anime's action genre.
