Shigurui - Iwamoto Kogan - Bust (Kotobukiya)Iwamoto Kogan · Kotobukiya

Kotobukiya crafted this bust figure of Iwamoto Kogan from Shigurui, standing approximately 110mm tall. The piece captures the fearsome swordsman whose presence looms over the dark, violent narrative of the series. Iwamoto Kogan is a formidable swordsman whose skills are said to be unrivaled in the Noubi region, earning him the moniker of Tiger. In his youth, he was tricked by Yagyuu Munenori into hiding his extra finger during a demonstration before the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu's ally, an act that shattered Kogan's dreams of serving as instructor to the House of Shogun. His mastery is demonstrated through terrifying precision, such as testing a new blade on six criminals with a single strike each, and executing a cut so clean that a victim walked several steps before noticing his own intestines spilling forth. By the main storyline, Kogan suffers from dementia but remains revered by his dojo's students and largely unhampered in combat ability. This Kotobukiya bust stands 110mm tall, focusing on the character's intense and weathered visage that reflects both his martial prowess and his declining mental state.
