What films make up the "Yojimbo" series?

Does anyone have a complete list of all the movies that loosely make up the "Yojimbo" series. I only know of Yojimbo, Sanjuro and Zatoichi meets Yojimbo films. Thanks

Mifune also played a yojimbo character in Machibuse from the same year as Zatoichi meets Yojimbo. That also paired him with Katsu from the Zatoichi series, but he was not playing the Ichi character.

I haven't seen it, but Incident at Blood Pass has this description at Deep Discount DVD:

"Starring the legendary Toshiro Mifune (RASHOMON), INCIDENT AT BLOODPASS is a fast-paced thriller, which sees The Yojimbo (Mifune) taking on the task of ransacking a haul of gold on a mountain pass. Drama unfolds, and sees The Yojimbo having to face some tough questions and decisions about the task he has undertaken."

There's also been at least three Yojimbo remakes that I know of:

Fistful of Dollars (1964): Spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood.

The Warrior and the Sorceress (1984): Sword and sorcery starring David Carradine.

Last Man Standing (1996): Prohibition-era action film starring Bruce Willis.

Django could also be added to that mix.

Hadn't heard of the Warrior and the Sorceress. I've always wanted to screen the others as a mini-festival.
