Rhythm Tengoku
The Wandering Samurai first appeared in Rhythm Tengoku in its first rhythm game,Samurai Slice. He very soon later appears in the second remix alongside the four other games in Set 2 other games. Much later, he reappears along with every other game in Remix 6. He then made appearances in the last two remixes, Remix 7 and Remix 8.
Rhythm Heaven
In Rhythm Heaven, our slicing samurai returned, but he didn't get his own rhythm game in any sets of games. Instead, he only appeared in an endless game Samurai Slice. In this one, you must slice the watermelon, fish and demons and give them to poor kids.
Rhythm Heaven Fever
In Rhythm Heaven Fever, the wandering samurai appears in many different games as cameo, however they are usually Easter-eggs. He first appears, as with the other games in the Rhythm Heaven series, in Samurai Slice. This rhythm game takes place right before the forth remix, him appearing again. He gets a sequel minigame in Samurai Slice 2, then gets parts in Remix 8 afterwards, and in the final remix, him appearing in that as well. This proves that he is the second most recurring character in the Rhythm Heaven series, after Karate Joe.
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, The Wandering Samurai appears in the game Super Samurai Slice, which has retro style graphics. He later appears in the sequel Super Samurai Slice 2, in Right-Hand Remix, and Final Remix in a part based on Super Samurai Slice 2. He also appears in the return Wii version of Samurai Slice, which is an extra game
