(In other words, go see it at the cinema!)

Aoshi Shinomori And Sōjirō Seta Cast In Live-Action Rurouni Kenshin Sequel!

"The September issue of Shueisha's Jump Square magazine is announcing on Saturday that actor Ryunosuke Kamiki will play Sōjirō Seta, the right-hand man of the former government assassin Makoto Shishio, in the two live-action Rurouni Kenshin sequel films. Yusuke Iseya will play Aoshi Shinomori, the head of the Oniwabanshū ninja.

The two films, which will cover the Kyoto arc from Nobuhiro Watsuki's original historical action manga, will be titled Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen (Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire) and Rurouni Kenshin: Densetsu no Saigo-hen (Rurouni Kenshin: The End of a Legend). The films are slated to open next summer.

Kamiki played Markl in Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle film, as well as various roles in other Studio Ghibli films. Kamiki also played Kyū in the live-action adaptation of Tadashi Agi and Fumiya Satō's Tantei Gakuen Q manga. Iseya played Shinobu Morita in the live-action adaptation of Chika Umino's Honey & Clover manga. More recently, he was cast as Tōru Rikiishi, the rival of the title character in the live-action film of Asao Takamori and Tetsuya Chiba's classic boxing manga Ashita no Joe.

Makoto Shishio who will be portrayed by "Death Note" actor Tatsuya Fujiwara.

Filming is currently underway for the back-to-back shoot with both films set for release next summer.

Previously confirmed, the sequels will see the return of Takeru Satoh as Kenshin Himura and Keishi Ōtomo in the director's chair for Studio Swan."

It's only fitting for Fujiwara playing the sadistic Light from Death Note to play Sadistic Shishio in Kenshin xD
This gets interesting by the day

Wait, they’re gonna end Kenshin in Edo Arc and will not touch the Jinchu arc as well as the story of Tomoe?

Grifis · 2013-08-02, 19:11

Why oh why. I've been waiting long to see my hot man Aoshi appears but they have to choose a not so hot guy to play him. I would be satisfied with Hideaki Ito or Tetsuji Tamayama. (Let me cry a river now.)

Tamayama Tetsuji

Hideaki Ito

Iseya Yusuke

I don't see Iseya as uglier, just a little less fresh than the others and more in the "I'm a junkie" side.

I think Hiroshi Abe is the only right choice for Seijuro Hiko.

Hiroshi Abe

HitokiriJinchuu · 2013-08-08, 18:10

I agree. Ito would've made a really hot Aoshi.

Kirarakim · 2013-08-17, 13:51

I just wonder how they are going to introduce Aoshi into the story.

walkofshane · 2013-08-18, 08:06

Seta will be played by Kamiki Ryunosuke.

walkofshane · 2013-08-18, 08:21

Your characters are spot on!! I especially like Abe Hiroshi as Hiko Seijuro. Tamatetsu!

Hmmm... Someone important seems to be missing among the villains... And I don't mean Shishio

I guess we talk about Katamari Honjou here.

That would be a shame if that character isn't there.

There a new better looking trailer, but it's on Facebook and I can't seem to link it here properly.

The makeup on Shishio looks pretty damn impressive.

Edit - Ninja'd
