Last month, tokyohive reported that actor�Sato Takeru would star as the main character in the film adaptation of�Watsuki Nobuhiro's popular manga, "Rurouni Kenshin". Today, it has been revealed that model/actress Takei Emi will play the heroine, Kamiya Kaoru, in the movie!

Otomo Keishi, who is known for the NHK Taiga drama, "Ryomaden", will be the director for the movie. He shared, "Without a doubt, Takei-san is an actress who will become big. Even with an innocent face, she has the will for this work. I feel that she has the chance of becoming big by playing various roles. Along with her age (17), I couldn't think of anyone else to play the role of Kaoru."

Takei commented, "I am happy and excited, yet at the same time very nervous to star in the film adaptation of a comic loved by many people. For the filming, I am learning sword fighting and posture. I feel my spirit will be put in good shape by each and every one of these movements. With the teamwork of the staff and �my co-stars, I want to make this a film everyone will enjoy. I want to challenge myself with all my might. Please look forward to it."

"Rurouni Kenshin" is a story about a legendary assassin named Kenshin. After the Meiji Restoration, he made an oath to not kill anymore, and wanders from town to town. Produced by Warner Brothers, the movie will begin filming this summer, and is scheduled to hit theatres in the summer of 2012.
