Hissatsu series

The Hissatsu series is a long-running prime-time popular television Jidaigeki series about assassins in Japan, produced by ABC Television and Shochiku. Hissatsu Shikakenin is based on Shōtarō Ikenami's novel Shikakenin Fujieda Baian, but its sequels are only inspired by it. The series still continues as an annual two-hour special drama.
