 This year, the warlord &#8220;Oda Nobunaga&#8221; has been the talk of the town.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 In the historical drama &#8220;Dousuru Ieyasu,&#8221; which has been airing since January, the character of Nobunaga, played by Junichi Okada, had a powerful impact on the main character, Ieyasu Tokugawa, who is played by Jun Matsumoto.
 After the first broadcast, 《Nobunaga Okada》 topped the global trend on Twitter. The co-starring of Matsumoto Jun of &#8220;Arashi&#8221; and Okada, formerly of &#8220;V6,&#8221; seemed to have attracted a lot of attention, even among fans of the show.
 Okada-san is known not only for his acting ability, but also as a martial arts expert with numerous martial arts and martial arts instructor certifications.
 In the action movie &#8220;The Fable,&#8221; in which he starred as an assassin, he was called &#8220;Master Okada&#8221; because he instructed his co-stars in action on the set. For this reason, Nobunaga&#8217;s well-trained and physically beautiful body is the subject of much attention from his female fans.
 Behind the macho &#8220;Nobunaga Okada,&#8221; another &#8220;Nobunaga&#8221; is also making his presence felt.
 This is &#8220;Nobunaga Kimutaku,&#8221; played by Takuya Kimura in the movie &#8220;Legend &amp; Butterfly,&#8221; scheduled for release on January 27.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The movie is a drama depicting the love between Nobunaga and his wife, Princess Noh played by Haruka Ayase, as they survive the turbulent Warring States period. The film is a blockbuster production that was made to commemorate Toei&#8217;s 70th anniversary and cost 2 billion yen to produce.
 Kimura played the role of Nobunaga in the Gifu Nobunaga Festival held in Gifu City last November. 620,000 people attended the festival, which brought 15 billion yen in economic benefits to the city, showing his star power.
 (A source from a wide-show news organization said, &#8220;The two were, coincidentally, the senior and junior members of Johnny&#8217;s at the same time in the &#8220;Nobunaga Showdown. Surprisingly, the two have something in common in their private lives as well.
 Kimura and Okada are known for their close marital relationship. They are famous in the media as celebrities who are often photographed together, such as walking around the neighborhood or shopping&#8230;&#8221; (photographer)
 Kimura married Shizuka Kudo in 2000 while he was still active as SMAP. They have two daughters, Cocomi and Kōki, who are both active as models, and are now known as an entertainment family.
 Okada, on the other hand, married Aoi Miyazaki in 2005 after co-starring in the movie &#8220;Tenchi Meisatsu. In 2006, their first child was born, and the family is a picture of happiness.
 Kimura-san and Okada-san have something in common in that their group at Johnny&#8217;s split up. Both of them have successfully &#8220;shed their skin&#8221; from being idols to becoming actors, and both of them have achieved great results. Their successes are probably supported behind the scenes by their wives, Ms. Kudo and Mr. Miyazaki, who know the world of show business.
 The two play &#8220;Nobunaga&#8221; who lived in a turbulent world at the same time. However, there seems to be no doubt that they are &#8220;safe&#8221; at home.
