Tengu.

[Patrick Skerry]

How come I have never seen a samurai movie with the Tengu in it? Has one been made?

To review: The Tengu are goblins - the mythical half-man/half-bird beast long nosed winged goblins that supposedly taught the Samurai their swordsmanship skills.

Are there any fiction movies out there featuring the Tengu teaching the samurai swordsmanship skills?

From what i thought, the Tengu were nicknames of Ninja, which would be foes of the Samurai..

From what I had read, the Tengu were mischevious and sometimes dressed as monks on the road, or disguised themselves as women.

But I had read it was the Tengu which trained some of Japan's leading Samurai swordsmen, in the depths of the forests.

But have they made any movies with these guys?
