NHK has released the first pictures of actor Okada Masaki in costume for their 2012 Taiga drama "Taira no Kiyomori" which stars Matsuyama Kenichi as 'Taira no Kiyomori'.

For Okada, this drama will be his first 'taiga' series. Moreover, he will� be the youngest actor to portray the role of Minamoto no Yoritomo so far. The Minamoto clan is a longtime enemy of the Taira clan.

Okada commented, "The first thing that surprised me was the scale of the set of a taiga drama. It's amazing." He continued, "The staff is amazing as well. What they did with the hairpieces and the costumes... The atmosphere just sucks you in and you totally become the role you are playing. Thanks to all that, I'm able to enjoy myself without any tension at all."

The producers have high expectations of Okada's performance. They commented, "He is going to portray Yoritomo in a new youthful way, and bring a breath of fresh air to this drama."

"Taira no Kiyomori" will start airing on January 8th, 2012. The first episode will be extended to 73 minutes.
