Set to reprise her role as spirited ninja Misao Makimachi in the ¡°Rurouni Kenshin¡± films, Tao Tsuchiya says she still has to pinch herself sometimes to believe she¡¯s part of the action-adventure series.
Well, there¡¯ll be no doubting it soon enough when ¡°Rurouni Kenshin: The Final¡± hits screens later this month, followed by ¡°Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning¡± in June.
Based on Nobuhiro Watsuki¡¯s manga, the films follow the exploits of Kenshin Himura (Takeru Satoh), a former assassin turned protector seeking to atone for all the blood on his hands. After defeating his nemesis Makoto Shishio in the third film, 2014¡¯s ¡°Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends,¡± Kenshin decided to hang up the sword and retire with his partner. However, when his favorite restaurant is destroyed by a man who is hell-bent on punishing Kenshin for a past murder, our protagonist is pulled back into the action.
