[[Image:Ogamidaigoro.jpg|thumb|right|Akihiro Tomikawa as Daigoro in [[Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril]].]] Ogami Daigoro (拝大五郎 Ogami Daigorō) is a fictional character in the manga and martial arts film series, Lone Wolf and Cub. Daigoro is the son of Ogami Ittō and Ittō's wife, Asami.
In the Baby Cart film series, Daigoro was portrayed by Akihiro Tomikawa.
At just 1-year-old, Daigoro was given a choice by his father – a ball or a sword. Had Daigoro chosen the ball, his father would have killed him, sending him to be with his mother, Asami, who had just been slain by some ninja as part of a plot by the Retsudo Yagyū clan to take over Ogami Ittō's position as the shogun's executioner. But, the child crawled toward the sword, and reached for its hilt, signifying that he would take the path of a ronin, living with his father as "demons" – the assassin-for-hire team that would become known as Lone Wolf and Cub.
