Kambei&#039;s &quot;right hand man.&quot; Kambei and Shichiroji fought in the Great War side by side and thus have become the best of friends. He temporarily leaves behind his successful post-war business, and with it, his &quot;girlfriend&quot;, to join Kambei in battle once again.  Unlike the other samurai, Shichiroji uses a kamayari as opposed to a katana that the other samurai use. He has a prosthetic left hand which has a grappling hook capability.  He is often nicknamed Momotaro, from the traditional Japanese tale, as he was found by his girlfriend, Yukino, badly injured after a battle floating down a river inside a capsule reminiscent of a peach.    (from Wikipedia)     ~!After the final battle with Ukyo, Shichiroji stays in the village for a few weeks to help oversee reconstruction, then leaves for the firefly house to be with Yukino. One of only three samurai to survive the final battle.!~

Based on the anime series and the classic film by Akira Kurosawa, A small village is being persecuted by robbers who return every harvest to seize the village's crops. Faced with starvation, the villagers send out a mission to find and recruit some samurai to defend them. With no pay to offer except rice, and knowing full well that only down-on-their-luck samurai would even consider accepting such an deal, the villagers can only hope that their saviours will appear before the rice is ready for harvest.

In the far distant future, on a planet that might have been called "earth", there was a war between samurai who mechanized their bodies. After the long war, people enjoyed a modest peace. 
Facing starvation and abductions at the hands of fearsome mechanized bandits (Nobuseri), the farmers of Kanna Village make the dangerous choice to hire samurai for protection. The village's water priestess, Kirara, her younger sister, Komachi, and a heartbroken villager, Rikichi, set off to hire willing samurai with nothing to offer but rice from their meager harvests. Through dangerous encounters and a bit of luck, seven samurai of varying specialties and experience are gathered for an epic battle against the bandits and the merchants that influence them. 
Note: Samurai 7 is based loosely upon Kurosawa Akira's famous movie "Seven Samurai"/"Shichinin no Samurai".</.i>
