yes.
Mifune and Kurosawa finally parted ways after Red Beard. Several factors contributed to the rift that ended this career-spanning collaboration. Most of Mifune's contemporaries acted in several different movies throughout the year. Since Red Beard required Mifune to grow a natural beard — one he had to keep for the entirety of the film's two years of shooting — he was unable to act in any other films during the production.

Lol what? Why couldn't he be in any other movies just because of having a beard? share
Imdb's Mifune page shows Mifune in several films during those two years. So I think that's just Wikipedia being Wikipedia. People pretty much write whatever they want there and state their assumptions as fact.
shareIt was an impressive beard. I was wondering if it was real too.
