Oatsurae Jirokichi Koshi (御誂治郎吉格子, Jirokichi the Rat) is a 1931 black and white Japanese silent film with benshi accompaniment directed by Daisuke Itō. It is the only completely preserved silent film directed by Ito and related the life of a legendary thief, Jirokichi the Rat, in an exquisite original story and through the revolutionary use of dynamic intertitles. The trio composed of director Ito, top-class cinematographer Karasawa and lead actor Denjirō Ōkōchi won great popularity for their masterful work.
