==Notes== * Mifune: The Last Samurai, also known as Mifune, is a 2015 biographical documentary directed by [[Steven Okazaki]]. * In the Japanese animated series Speed Racer (1967), the hero was named Go Mifune as a tribute to him and the M on the hood of the Mach 5 and Speed Racer's helmet was in tribute to him. * Reportedly watched films of lions in the wild for inspiration for his character in Seven Samurai (1954). * In the graphic novel series "[[Usagi Yojimbo]]", Usagi's overlord is named Lord Mifune, in his honor. * He was posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6912 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on November 14, 2016. * He was offered the role of Tiger Tanaka in [[You Only Live Twice (Movie) | You Only Live Twice]] (1967), but he turned it down in favour of Grand Prix (1966). * Mifune was one of the first people to see the original [[Godzilla 1954 (Movie) | Godzilla]] (1954), as he was invited to a Toho staff screening and Shinto ceremony for the film. * The character of [[Bushuri (Earth-Four)]] in the DC Universe is modeled after Mifune's likeness.
