I don't know how far you got into Seven Samurai, but Toshiro's character really isn't about practical... :b
He actually did a large number of modern and/or dramatic roles, it's just they never really made it across the pond to us (generally for good reason...) You could check him out in the TV miniseries for "Shogun" (which is quite good, better than the book).
"Throne of Blood" he does spend most of it in lordly attire, and is an all-around great adaptation of Macbeth, so why you haven't seen it yet is a mystery to me :b
