Crimson Bat
''Crimson Bat'' is the international title for the series of four jidaigeki films based on the character .
==Character==
The character of Blind Oichi is a blind swordswoman created by Teruo Tanashita in a manga published by Shukan Manga Times, in what is believed to be a response to the hugely successful ''Zatoichi'' series. The main difference, apart from being a female, was that her weakness is a stereotyped female tendency to be emotional. The character was played by Yōko Matsuyama, wife of the original manga author Teruo Tanashita, who had starred as swordswomen in a number of popular TV series including ''Kotohime Shichi Henge (The Seven Faces of Princess Koto)'' from 1960 to 1962, ''Tsukihime Toge (Princess Tsuki Pass)'' in 1963, and ''Tabigarasu Kurenai Osen (Crimson Osen The Wanderer)'' from 1968-1969. The origin of the international English title "Crimson Bat" is unclear. Some have suggested that it was due to her wearing a crimson red kimono and being "blind as a bat", as the saying goes. Others have claimed the title came from a much earlier non-related film entitled (1958) which featured Yōko Matsuyama in a supporting role. Another (perhaps more likely) reason was that Matsuyama had just finished playing a sword-wielding character named "Crimson Osen" in the aforementioned 52 episode TV series ''Tabigarasu Kurenai Osen''. The character appeared in 4 films released by Shochiku studios, before moving on to television just as the Zatoichi series did. Ironically, an official Zatoichi-based film about a blind swordswoman was released decades later entitled ''Ichi'', which featured the title character searching for her mentor Zatoichi (seen in flashbacks).
