The cast and crew of the live-action Rurouni Kenshin movie have been filming in three locations in the Kumamoto prefecture early August. While filming, the cast and crew was visited by prefecture mascot, Kumamon!
The locations they filmed are: the Manda mine in Arao, the House of Law in Uki and the Yachiyo seat in Yamaga. All three of these locations are considered cultural heritages on both the prefectural and national levels.
Seen above is a picture of the main cast named Takeru Satoh (Kenshin Himura), Emi Takei (Kaoru Kamiya), Aoki Munetaka (Sanosuke Sagara) and Kaito Oyago (Yahiko Myojin). The cast were presented by the mascot the prefecture's finest products like watermelons, pears and grapes.
The two upcoming Rurouni Kenshin movies entitled "Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire Arc" and "Rurouni Kenshin: The End of a Legend Arc" are based on the Kyoto Arc, which introduces the evil Makoto Shishio (played by Tatsuya Fujiwara) and his plan to conquer Japan. Both slated to have summer 2014 release.
