Anyone know this series?

Greetings,

I saw only two episodes of this Japanese series. It was a period piece involving two good guy assassins. One was dressed in white and used a sword the other, dressed in black (I should say light and dark because I was not watching it on color TV), employed an unusual close quarter combat method that focused on driving long spikes into his victim's head with his hand. Has anyone ever seen this?

Was it Baian the Assassin with Ken Watanabe?

Hi ghostexorcist,

This was a series from the '70's. It could have been redone since. Ken Watanabe is way too young to have been one of the actors. The sad thing was the show had no subtitles.

Thank you for your help.
