The DVD release of the 5th installment 'Rotou no Yume' (Old Thief's Dream) and the 6th installment 'Anken Baibaikou' (The Scent of the White Plum) of the 'Onihei Hankacho' series, based on the original work by Shotaro Ikenami and starring Koshiro Matsumoto, has been confirmed for Wednesday, September 2, 2026.
### Episode 5: 'Rotou no Yume'
This episode focuses on the legendary thief Kinoe no Kinousuke, played by Isao Hashizume. Having come to Edo from Kyoto where he was living in retirement, Kinousuke meets Otoyo (Kii Kitano), a young woman who is the spitting image of his past love, and plans one last major job. It is a profound drama where the emotions of Heizo (Koshiro Matsumoto), the spy Kumehachi (Toshihiro Wada), and Kinousuke intersect.
### Episode 6: 'Anken Baibaikou'
A tense episode where the skilled assassin Kaneko Hanshiro, played by Taichi Saotome, relentlessly targets Heizo. The action scenes filled with Hanshiro's maniacal obsession and murderous intent are a must-see. Makita Sports continues his role from the previous work, revealing a strange connection between Hanshiro and Hikonoiichi, leading to an unexpected thread of fate with Heizo.
Both works are directed by Tomohiko Yamashita with screenplays by Sumio Omori. These authentic period dramas are produced by Nihon Eiga Broadcasting with production support from Shochiku. Look forward to the release on September 2, 2026.
