Comic Natalie had posted our first look at Tao Tsuchiya (Ultraman Zero: Revenge of Belial), in costume, as Misao Makimachi in the upcoming Rurouni Kenshin live action film sequels. This will be her first full-fledged action role.

Tsuchiya made her acting debut in the the 2008 film Tokyo Sonata. Overwhelmed by the first Rurouni Kenshin film, she decided to audition for the sequels.

More characters in their respective costumes are expected to be revealed in later dates. The official site noted that December 29th will be the next time they will make an update.

It has been confirmed that Rurouni Kenshin will have another two live-action films encompassing the manga/anime's Kyoto Arc. These will be entitled “Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire Arc” and “Rurouni Kenshin: The End of a Legend Arc”. The films are slated to open next summer.

The "Kyoto Arc" took place several months after Kenshin joins the Kamiya Dojo. Shishio Makoto plans to conquer Japan by destroying the Meiji Government, starting with Kyoto. Feeling that his friends may be attacked, Kenshin goes to meet Shishio alone in order to defeat him. However, many of his friends, including a young Oniwabanshū named Makimachi Misao, decide to help him in his fight.




A poll was held on website My Navis Women asking 200 women "what manga they most want to see adapted into a live-action film", with the respondents ages of 22-34. Topping the list is Yuki Suetsugu's sports romance manga Chihayafuru.
