Ghost of Kurosawa (Metal Genesis) is an original design by Quiccs x FLABSLAB and sculpted by Danil Yad.

Ghost of Kurosawa is among Quiccs’ earliest characters in the Bulletpunk universe, one of the ace leaders of the Bulletpunk Death Squad.  

The mad men, who are sane in the now mad world, campaign their peoples' claim to their right to exist. And from these men manifests one enigmatic ruthless messenger of Akira's unearthed doctrines of insurrection and vengeance, the man known only as... the Ghost of Kurosawa!

Ghost of Kurosawa is inspired by and a tribute to legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, the renown filmmaker regarded as one of the most influential in cinema history. Kurosawa's iconic films include Rashomon (1950), famous for its unique plot device and shooting directly at the sun, a first for the industry at that time; Seven Samurai (1954) inspired many Hollywood films; and Hidden Fortress (1958), which immensely inspired and influenced George Lucas and the Star Wars series.
