Samurai Champloo ( サムライチャンプルー , Samurai Chanpurū ? ) is an anime series consisting of twenty-six episodes that began broadcasting May 20, 2004 on Fuji Television in Japan . It was directed by Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop fame. The show is set in a fictional version of Edo period Japan, featuring elements of action, adventure and comedy blended with an anachronistic , predominantly hip-hop soundtrack. Its name comes from the Okinawan word " chanpurū " (e.g. goya champuru), which means to mix or blend. Thus, the title may be translated as "Samurai Remix " or "Samurai Mashup ", keeping with the series' blended theme.
The show is unique, in that it matches modern Japanese hip-hop music with a stylized form of samurai swordplay known as chambara , much in the same way Cowboy Bebop married science fiction to blues and jazz , and the television series Kung Faux married classic hip-hop with classic kung fu films. Champloo's score predominantly features hip-hop beats by Japanese hip hop artists such as Nujabes , Force of Nature , Tsutchie , and Fat Jon , among others.
The world of Samurai Champloo is often anachronistic . Characters' costume design , attitudes and editing methods reflect heavily towards international hip-hop culture. One of the protagonists, Mugen, even fights in a style that resembles Capoeira .
Furthermore, despite its setting in the Edo period many of the words and expressions used by the characters are modern slang or English-influenced.
Geneon Entertainment licensed the show for distribution in North America almost a year prior to the show's airing in Japan. This decision was based almost solely on the reputation of its creator, Shinichiro Watanabe. On January 20 , 2004, it was made public that the broadcasting rights were acquired by Cartoon Network , and the series began airing on the Adult Swim block on May 14 , 2005 , in the 11:30 p.m. timeslot on Saturday nights. On Saturday, November 22 , 2005 , the second batch of episodes (episodes 14-26) began airing at 11:30 p.m. EST/PST, but moved to Wednesday nights at 12:30 a.m. in January 2006. The airing of the final episode was March 18 , 2006 . The show now airs reruns every Saturday night at 1 a.m. on Adult Swim.
Samurai Champloo is set to make its debut in Canada on December Samurai Champlooth, 2006 on the Canadian digital station, Razer .
