The year was 1995 I was a young kid of 12 years old with a passion for all things Asian.
I had grown up watching kung fu movies starring Jackie Chan,Bruce Lee, Yuen Biao ,Sammo Hung and other Hong Kong stars of the 70s and 80s.
I live in Scotland and in the mid nineties not many people I new really knew much about manga or Japanese Animation in general.
The first Anime movie I ever saw that really blew my mind was Ninja Scroll. I had never seen anything like it ,the animation style was so stylish the story was awesome and the characters have stayed in my mind ever since.
I have used the name Jubei as a handle for various website and as a name for many RPG characters since then.
My portrait picture here on Steemit is from Ninja Scroll.
Jubei Kibagami is a a wandering Ninja in the Edo period of Japan. A vagabond roaming the countryside having adventures like Kane in the TV series Kung Fu!Jubei stumbles upon a plague, an evil clan of demons, a national crisis, and a beautiful ninja girl.
In short its one of the greatest anime movies of all time.Check it out!
