of Kaoru Kamiya, a teacher of the Kamiya Kasshin-ryū style, a swords
style used to protect people. Otomo Keishi (Ryomaden), the director for
the movie stated:
“Without a doubt, Takei-san is an actress who will become big. Even
with an innocent face, she has the will for this work. I feel that she
has the chance of becoming big by playing various roles. Along with
her age (17), I couldn’t think of anyone else to play the role of
Kaoru.”
Emi Takei answered:
“I am happy and excited, yet at the same time very nervous to star in
the film adaptation of a comic loved by many people. For the filming, I
am learning sword fighting and posture. I feel my spirit will be put
in good shape by each and every one of these movements. With the
teamwork of the staff and my co-stars, I want to make this a film
everyone will enjoy. I want to challenge myself with all my might.
Please look forward to it.”
