OP, maybe you should do some research before you start talking out of you rear-end. Rashomon won an Honorary Academy Award a dozen years before Leone released A Fistfull of Dollarsafter that Kurosawa had several international smashes before Leone even became a feature length director.

Aren't you forgetting
Seven Samurai
/
The Magnificent Seven
? If Kurosawa was so "unknown", then how did Hollywood know of the existence of Seven Samurai, and why remake it as
The Magnificent Seven
?
The Outrage- a
Rashomon
remake starring Eli Wallach and Paul Newman - followed in 1964. Odd Hollywood behavior for a filmmaker "no one had ever heard of".
The title of your post should more accurately be titled:
"Leone wouldn't be known worldwide without Kurosawa."
You could replace "Leone" with "Van Cleef" or "Eastwood" or "Morricone", and it would still hold true.
