The presence of a great father in both his personal life and dramas– Gohatsu Maeda’s resolve in the face of expectations that he will eventually play the leading role in a major TV drama

Episode 26 of the NHK historical drama “Dousuru Ieyasu,” starring Jun Matsumoto, has just aired, and the final role of Katsuyori Takeda, played by Gohatsu Maeda, is attracting a great deal of interest in the hope that he will eventually play a leading role in a major historical drama.

This year’s Taiga Drama is an entertaining story about Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was born in a small country and overcame a “life or death” crisis to establish the Edo Shogunate. Katsuyori, played by Maeda, is a man of strong body and spirit who was raised strictly by his father Shingen (Hiroshi Abe) from an early age. He has also inherited his father’s talent for wits and military strategy, and has succeeded in expanding the Takeda family’s territory to its greatest extent.

However, he was betrayed by his vassals, and the comments of admiration leapt to the end of the heroic Katsuyori, who scattered his life as a single military leader.

Maeda himself said, “I thought that what I had to do was to be a great enemy to Ieyasu, so I just kept that in mind,” and “I think I played Katsuyori to the best of my ability.”

The highlight of Maeda’s Katsuyori is the battle of Shitara-hara in the 22nd episode, where the two sides face off against the allied forces of Tokugawa and Oda.

The allied forces outnumber Katsuyori’s troops. He pointed to a rainbow in the sky and said, “Nobunaga and Ieyasu are standing neck to neck in front of me. There will never be another stage like this.

My father has already spoken. I will surpass Shingen! This was Maeda Katsuyori’s greatest moment as he urged the audience to make up their minds.

For Maeda, this was his first historical drama as a Taiga actor. In playing the role of Katsuyori

“He is a man who has worked harder than anyone else around him to surpass his great father.”

I had a great father who was also an actor, so I could understand how he felt.
