Long careers are rarer than they look, and Atsushi Watanabe has become a familiar face known to audiences from a long list of titles rather than from one. Among the rest of the work, 'Yojimbo' stands out. The bulk of the career has been spent in drama. Television and film have both stayed in regular use across the career. For much of the audience, Atsushi Watanabe is Bun Seller from 'Seven Samurai', whatever else the credits say.
