This time, we have an official interview with Tsuda Kenjiro, who plays the main character Higan, as well as scene cuts from episode 8!
When asked about his first impression of the “NINJA KAMUI” footage, he said, “Director Park is amazing. I’ve been working with him on “Jujutsu Kaisen” and other projects, so the moment I heard that Director Park was going to do a ninja thing, I imagined some hardcore action scenes, but it exceeded my expectations. The camerawork was packed with a lot of ingenuity and ideas, and I felt that it was a very worthwhile production.” Regarding his role as Higan, he said, “A former ninja who became a demon of revenge with a terrible fate on his shoulders. The character is driven by sadness throughout the whole story, so I thought that if I showed too much emotion it would become too loud, so I was conscious of suppressing it as much as possible.” However, he also revealed that he was as surprised as the viewers when he transformed from Joe Rogan, who lives happily with his family, into the runaway ninja Higan in the first episode, saying, “I tried to play each transformation scene differently, but when his face changed, I was surprised too. “
Regarding the dubbing, he recalled, “Director Park and I actually did the dubbing for the first episode and solidified the dialogue as we went. I’ve worked with Director Park before, on things like ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’, so it felt like he understood my sense of acting from the beginning, and the whole thing went smoothly until the end. We weren’t all together (with the other cast members) yet, but I felt like I was able to work with Nakamura-kun, Oon-san, Hino-san, and the others I was interacting with. Most of the cast members were calm, so the dubbing felt like we were a group of professionals who were all calm and did their jobs well, just like their characters. “
When asked what to look out for in the series, he said, “The action scenes are excellent, so I think each episode’s action scenes are a real highlight. Each character has a fighting style that brings out their individuality, and it changes depending on the opponent, so the production is carefully crafted to allow a variety of battles to unfold, so I hope you enjoy it. Also, the use of colors is unusual and creates a unique atmosphere, so I hope you will pay attention to it.” He was full of praise for the action scenes, which have been a hot topic on social media.
With “NINJA KAMUI” now approaching the second half, he has a message saying, “It’s become a very cool and stylish anime, but the drama will continue to develop and the action scenes will also get more powerful, so I hope you don’t miss a single episode! I would also be happy if those around you would encourage them to get involved in it too. Please support us.”
In addition, new stills have been released from episode 8, which aired today, including one of Higan looking down with sharp eyes from under his hood, and another of Higan equipped with the Gusoku Gear combat suit!
Regarding Gosoku Gear, Tsuda said , “It’s a work that’s full of surprises, but I was also surprised when I saw Higan’s Gosoku Gear. The premise is that it’s about modern ninjas, so I knew it wouldn’t be like the traditional ninja battles of Iga or Koga, but it had progressed even further, so I thought it was interesting.” Expectations are high for the battle scenes with Gosoku Gear.
