- Zatoichi is seemingly only a harmless blind masseur who wanders around the country making his living by gambling; however, he is also highly skilled in swordsmanship, specifically Iaijutsu.
- He keeps his sword concealed within his cane.
- Cane swords, or shikomizue, were generally straight, lower-quality blades, which could not compare with regular katanas.
- However as revealed in Zatoichi's Cane Sword, his weapon is nearly superior to a katana and was created by a master sword smith just before his prime.
- A recurring theme of both the japanese films and television series episodes concerns Zatoichi protecting the innocent from oppressive warring Yakuza gangs and general injustice.
- Zatoichi's now-trademark inverted hold on his cane sword grip combined with his abilities using such a stance, his sometimes inexplicably keen ears and nose, and personal perception renders him a capable surprise attacker.
