This time, the second set of visuals of Team Tenkai surrounding Jesus and Buddha, as well as visuals of each character, have been released! The second set of making-of footage for Team Tenkai has also been released.
▲The second group visual of Team Tenkai has been released!
The two characters that have been revealed this time are Eleven-Headed Kannon and Yohane, who will be proudly joining Team Tenkai!
Eleven-faced Kannon, a member of the Six-faced Kannon, is a popular blogger and YouTuber who goes by the handle name “Ah-men” in the mortal world, and always wears a knit cap.
The role of the Eleven-Headed Kannon will be played by actor Nakano Taiga, who has been in high demand in recent years and has appeared in a wide range of film genres, from comedy to serious, so much so that hardly a day goes by without seeing him in the media .
▲Eleven-faced Kannon (performed by Taiga Nakano)
He won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 45th Japan Academy Awards for his role in the film “Wonderful World” released in 2021, and has been selected to play the lead role in the NHK Taiga drama “Toyotomi Brothers!” scheduled to air in 2026, so he is expected to become even more successful as a talented actor.
Nakano first joined Fukuda’s team in “50 First Kisses” (2018), and has since appeared as one of the main characters in the smash hit series “From Today, It’s My Turn!!,” which grossed an astounding 5.3 billion yen. How will Nakano play the Eleven-Faced Kannon, who will leave a strong impression on the people of the lower world? Please also take a look at his “true face” hidden under his knit cap.
The role of John, a popular author who calls himself “Jesus’ most beloved disciple” and whose book “The Book of Revelation” is a huge bestseller in heaven, is played by Ryunosuke Kamiki, who has received high praise both at home and abroad for his brilliant career, having won the Japan Academy Award for Best New Actor for his role in the film “The Great Yokai War” (2005), which he starred in when he was 12 years old, as well as appearing as a voice actor in Studio Ghibli’s feature-length animated film “Spirited Away” (2001) and Makoto Shinkai’s film “Your Name” (2016).In recent years, he has also starred in popular works such as the NHK morning drama “Ranman,” the film “Godzilla-1.0” (2023), and the TBS Sunday Theater drama “Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea,” which will start in October .
▲ Yohane (played by Ryunosuke Kamiki)
Kamiki, who plays the charismatic writer John, who is also highly recommended by Iwata Takanori’s character Michael, recreates the atmosphere of the original work with a clear and vivid appearance. This is his first time working with Fukuda on a film! What kind of performance will Kamiki show under the direction of director Fukuda? It will be interesting to see.
It had been a while since I last worked with Fukuda, so I was really looking forward to the shoot!
It was an indescribable, surreal laugh, and the filming was strangely tense, so I struggled to contain my laughter (laughs).
The Eleven-Headed Kannon that I played is a character with many different “expressions,” but I think I was able to play it with all my heart.
I hope you enjoy his secrets!
Please come to the theater and laugh!
I played the character Yohane! My name is Kamiki Ryunosuke.
I had previously worked with Director Fukuda on a non-film project, so I was very happy to be working with him again since then!
The shooting site was fun and I was laughing all the time!
I hope you all look forward to it!
thank you!
Furthermore, behind-the-scenes footage of Team Tenkai’s second film has arrived! It shows Kamiki, who is working with Fukuda for the first time, timidly starting filming and hiding behind Shota Sometani, who plays Buddha, but then he looks back on the filming with a smile on his face and says, “All I was thinking about was how to make the director laugh!”
In response, Nakano, a regular in Fukuda’s work, said, “I wonder when I will become an actor whose throat doesn’t get dry on the opening day of a Fukuda production…”, revealing anecdotes that only a regular can have, making the staff laugh, and the video is packed with content.
Furthermore, there was a scene that gave a glimpse of the close friendship between the two, with Kamiki teasing, “100 CG cuts of Taiga…I think there are dozens of cuts,” to which Nakano immediately retorted, “That’s not true, that’s not true!”, which only builds up excitement for the interaction in the main story.
