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

Especially for this film [ 47 ronin] there's a nice mixture between western and eastern. So Ronin wearing the boots, like Western style. It's a nice mixture.

It's a Samurai story [47 ronin], so if we change too much Japanese audiences will have strong against feelings to the film. It's not good.

I was very comfortable on the set of Lost. I was so nervous when I went on to the set because I had just watched all the Lost episodes. I was, like, a fan. A big fan.

This is almost the most famous story The last samurai - Samurai story - in Japan.

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

I've done a lot of Samurai film in Japan, and sometimes done the choreography by myself.
