Can you find these films at the IMDB?

Lone Wolf And Cub TV series (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2303.html)
Pro-Karate (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2302.html)
Unknown 009 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2294.html)
Unknown 010 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2295.html)
Unknown 011 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2296.html)
Unknown 012 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2298.html)
Unknown 013 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2299.html)
Unknown 014 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2300.html)

You can copy and paste the Japanese characters from the links into this database site, where you could try and translate the actors names or something:

For example, I knew Kurata was in one movie and I knew the movie was from 1993, so I was able to find it at IMDB by browsing his filmography etc.

My Japanese isn't very good, but these should be correct...

Unknown 010 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2295.html) - some Kunoichi movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0226044/)
Unknown 011 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2296.html) - Graveyard of Honor (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073207/)
Unknown 012 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2298.html) - another Kunoichi movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0226045/)
Unknown 014 (http://www.rarekungfumovies.com/titles/title2300.html) - a Wicked Priest movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1163778/)


Those are the only ones I could find without looking too hard.

Thanks! I'm surprised they have no official English titles...

Anyone like to have a go at the other half?

Unknown 013 - http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0366824/

Lone Wolf and Cub TV Series - i think it's this: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0226979/

I can't find Pro-Karate. The director is Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0945324/), but none of the films from 1976 look to be that film. The Romanji is "Sekai Saikyo no Kakutogi - Satsujin Karate!"

Great effort; thank you very much indeed! Obviously, we cannot rely too much on IMDB re: Japanese films. Anyway, I have updated the information in the RareKFM database, which will be updated online tomorrow. I am grateful to both of you for your help with this...
