The summer of 1965 saw Koichi Ose tour Australia with his hugely popular Samurai stage show. Thousands of children flocked to greet the Japanese star, waving their Samurai swap-cards (see below) and dodgy tin-can shuriken.

We've had a flood of emails from nostalgic Samurai fans, with a few having dug deep into their archives to unearth press-clippings, swap cards and memorabilia. Below we have Koichi Ose signing an autograph for one lucky lil' ninja (thanks to Greg Newman www.newmedia.com.au). I wonder what their exchange was??
