2014 Live-Action Rurouni Kenshin Movies' Misao Revealed

The actress who will play Oniwabanshuu's Misao Makimachi in the live-action Rurouni Kenshin movie sequels is finally revealed! Actress Tao Tsuchiya (Ultraman Zero, Tokyo Sonata) will play the role in the upcoming movies.

She got interested in the live-action Rurouni Kenshin movies after watching the first movie, causing her to audition for the said role. She started shooting for the movie sequels in the middle of July and she is doing all of her own action scenes.

In the Sports Hochi article, she said that she is learning every day because "the action requires a sense, such as giving twist to the kick." She will return to the shooting site in September through the end of the year. She is currently absorbed in physical preparation such as swimming, Pilates and running.

The two upcoming Rurouni Kenshin films based on the Kyoto Arc entitled "Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire Arc" and "Rurouni Kenshin: The End of a Legend Arc" are both slated to have summer 2014 release.
