Masako Kanazawa
- Masako: Wait! Stop! Either you die or my husband dies. One of you must die. To have my shame known to two men is worse than dying. I will go with the survivor.
- Masako: [laughing hysterically] It's you two who are weak!
- [to Takehiro]
- Masako: If you are my husband, kill this man, then you can tell me to kill myself! But you're not a real man. That is why I was crying. I'm tired of this farce.
- [She continues laughing, and turns to Tajomaru]
- Masako: I thought Tajomaru might find some way out.
- [She clutches the bandit by his rags]
- Masako: I thought that if he would save me I would do anything for him! I wanted you to take me away. I would have been yours!
- [She spits in his face and laughs again]
- Masako: But he's not a man, either. He's just like my husband.
- [Tajomaru cringes]
- Masako: Remember, a woman loves a real man only. She can be won only by the strength of your swords.
