The first Chushingura film was Chushingura Go-danme (The Five Acts of Chushingura), made by Yoshizawa Shoten in 1907, a kabuki film starring Kataoka Nizaemon XI in the three roles of Yoichibei, Sadakuro, and Kanpei. Later, in 1910, Yokota Shokai made Oishi Kuranosuke Ichidaiki (The Life of Oishi Kuranosuke), starring the first movie star, Onoe Matsunosuke, and in the same year, Yokota Shokai also made Chushingura, the first complete film version of Chushingura, directed by Makino Shozo and starring Onoe Matsunosuke in the three roles of Asano Takumi no Kami, Oishi Kuranosuke, and Shimizu Ikkaku. The duo of Makino Shozo and Onoe Matsunosuke continued to work at Nikkatsu, adapting Chushingura into film many times, including the company's anniversary production Chushingura (1912), Kanadehon Chushingura (1917), and their first blockbuster, The True Story of Chushingura (1921). *Some of the terminology used in "The Life of Oishi Kuranosuke" is listed below.
