There is a rumor that popular manga, “Rurouni Kenshin” (Shonen Jump in 1994~1999) will come back as a live action movie.

Although Rurouni Kenshin came out as an anime, it was too difficult to make a live action version due to the lack of CG skills at that time.

Actor, Sato Takeru is said to be playing Himura Kenshin who is a legendary assassin.  Takeru is currently in popular drama “Ryomaden” as Okada Izo who is a Samurai of the late Edo period.  Since Takeru plays the role of a Samurai very well, it seemed he was chosen to play Kenshin as well.

    Rurounin Kenshin is one of my favorite anime’s, but I have to say that I’m not excited about this being addapted into a movie. The reason is that I haven’t seen an anime adaption that has been any good. I’m pretty sure this is gonna suck! It’s a shame

  • chocomaxfactor

    Awesome! I hope they don’t screw the manga/anime over! But on a side note . . . Takeru’s gonna make one very fine and sexy himura kenshin!!!
