Goemon (五右衛門Goemon) is a 2009 Japanese historical fantasy film written and directed by Kazuaki Kiriya. It was first released on May 1, 2009 in Japan in cinemas. It is loosely based on the story of Ishikawa Goemon, a legendary outlaw hero who stole valuables from the rich and gave them to the poor. The film is a fictional account of Goemon's exploits and his role during the final phase of Sengoku period, particularly the period leading up to the decisive Battle of Sekigahara. Like Kiriya's previous film, Casshern, Goemon was filmed on a digital backlot, and made use of over 2,500 visual effects.
Goemon was eventually given a Hindi dub for a televised broadcast release on September 28, 2014 on Sony Max, which was over five years after the original Japanese release. It was re-titled: "Goemon: Ek Janbaaz Yodha" (गोएमों: एक जांबाज़ योद्धा) translated to English as: "Goemon: An Adventurer Warrior." It was then released on home media on October 4, 2014, six days later after the television broadcast.
