Oda Nobunaga Oda, the first of Japan's great unifiers, conquered most of Japan in the Sengoku Jidai civil war period (1467-1568). Kimura will portray the young Oda, a free-spirited but sensitive young warrior. Kimura will portray Oda in several legendary exploits, including battles with bandits and practicing with a rifle on his wedding day. Ayumi Ishida will play Oda's mother, Tsuchida Gozen, and Toshiyuki Nishida will take the role of Nobunaga's father-in-law and one of the main figures of the age, Saito Dosan. Producer Jiro Shono said he wanted to illustrate the many anxieties of young people by portraying the development of Oda's character through a modern directing style. STARRING:
Kimura Takuya You have to be really interested in Kimura Takuya or Japanese history to watch this. It was o.k. but nothing spectacular. This was a drama to show that Kimura could expand his roles as an actor but for a period drama, it's more trendy than anything else with Kimura Takuya and the Eric Clapton song playing in the background.
