Actor Masaharu Fukuyama has been revealed via a leak to be the teacher of Kenshin Himura (Takeru Satoh) in the two Rurouni Kenshin films.
The Rurouni Kenshin facebook page adds: "A t-shirt meant as a gift for the Rurouni Kenshin movie staff apparently reveals the name of the much anticipated actor portraying Hiko Seijuro, Kenshin's master, in the live action sequels this year." Other notable films and TV series under Fukuyama's belt include - Galileo, Suspect X and in adorable twist of events, Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops: Angel Wings. Rurounin Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire will be shown in Japan August 1.
Jump Square magazine has announced that two more Rurouni Kenshin movies will be coming out for 2014 and it certainly kick things up as both movies will focus on the Kyoto arc.
ANN broke the news and it looks like the entire cast will once again reprise their roles including lead star and Kamen Rider Den-OTakeru Satoh as Kenshin Himura and Emi Takei as Kaoru.
It's interesting to note that this will also include new cast members; I'm already waiting for news as to who they'd cast as Misao and more importantly the arc's main villain - Shishio Makoto...
