There's a reason why they made westerns out of samurai movies.

Sukiyaki Western Django

There also exist several japanese comics and videogames heavily influenced by westerns, but they seem to take influence from all sorts of cultures idk if that counts.

Isn't that reverse logic?

Westerns were adapted from samurai movies therefore they have a lot in common, not the other way around.

Fistful of Dollars came out 2-3 years after Yojimbo, they have the same plot except one is Samurai and one is a Western. Kurosawa even got paid from it after a lawsuit.

They changed the setting to Mexico (kept most of the set design choices) changed the names, and added guns.

I like Yojimbo and cowboys enough that I'll watch both
