I was a child actor, so when I started filming when I was five years old, it was a long time ago.

A lot of country making films in English, but in Japan we are very shy to speak English.

I saw a lot of 47 Ronin on the TV, in the films, and I've done Chushingura Gaiden Yotsuya Kaidan [Crest of Betrayal, 1994] directed by Kinji Fukasaku.

When i've done camera test, after we've shot and I've seen the monitor with the glasses (wearing a Kimono) and looking by myself in 3D. Oh my god. Especially for a Samurai film. I've never seen that. It's kind of a culture shock.

This is a good thing, mixing culture to make something new, something no one has ever seen. This is kind of a new history.

I believe, the Japanese film industry must be open.

It's very difficult to introduce the world to our culture.
