The origin of his name is also &#8230;&#8230;</figcaption></figure>
<p> The movie &#8220;Eleven Samurai&#8221; is a group war drama set at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Many audiences have been captivated by the uncanny performance of Taiga Nakano, who plays the lead role along with Takayuki Yamada.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Director Kazuya Shiraishi, who also worked on the &#8220;Blood of the Lone Wolf&#8221; series, adapted a fantastic plot by Kazuo Kasahara, a screenwriter who built the foundation of Toei&#8217;s golden era, including the &#8220;Battles Without Honor&#8221; series, 60 years after its release. Based on a historical incident that took place in the small Hokuriku clan of Shinobata during the Boshin War, this is a bloodcurdling entertainment epic in which nameless criminals are holed up in a border fort to fight against the government forces.</p>
<h2> Bringing a wooden sword to the location of another job.</h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Taiga plays the role of a Naoshin Kagei-ryu master who grows frustrated with the Shinbashida clan&#8217;s refusal to fight the new government forces. He plays the role of Setsuro Washio, who leads a suicide squad to carry out an escort mission to the fort on the orders of the feudal lord. In fact, this is the first time for him to take part in a full-fledged killing squad action. He started practicing six months before crank-in, and even brought a wooden sword to the location of another job to keep practicing. He also expressed his passion for this film, saying, &#8220;I hope you will be able to see the fiery way of life of those who are called bandits, and the way they die like fireworks at the end of battle.</span></p>
<p> The filming of this movie took place from August to November last year, and during two months, an open set of a fortress was built in a former quarry in Chiba Prefecture&#8217;s Kyonan Town, with a suspension bridge, a large gate, a main citadel, a watchtower, and even a river running under the suspension bridge, all of which were shot day and night in the extreme heat. Toward the end of the film, the highlight of the film is a gruesome battle scene featuring a soldier played by Taiga.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The scene is a tale of two men who are supposed to be exonerated after defending the fortress, but are cruelly killed to keep their mouths shut. Soldiero, unable to tolerate the dirty tricks of his retainer, Mizoguchi Naisho (Abe Sadawo), stands alone against him. He binds his hands and sword with a string to prevent the sword from slipping on the blood, and he is so close that he runs out of power. His performance as an actor in a period drama is highly anticipated.</span></p>
<p> However, there is a secret hidden in his impassioned performance.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" He was chosen to play the lead role in the &quot;Taiga Drama&quot; to be broadcast in 2014. ......"></div>
<h2>I named him to play the lead role in the Taiga Drama.</h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In fact, during the filming of this fortress, he decided to play the role of Hidenaga Toyotomi, the main character in the next year&#8217;s Taiga Drama, &#8220;Toyotomi Brothers! (NHK), in which he will play the role of the main character, Toyotomi Hidenaga. A frenzied Taiga confesses that he upped his gear two or three notches, determined to show a performance that would live up to his name as the lead actor in a major historical drama. That ghoulish scene may have been a battle for Taiga&#8217;s pride as an actor in a major historical drama.</span><br>
<span class="strongInContent"> (A producer mentioned above).</span></p>
<p> Earlier this year, Nakano played the role of the heroine&#8217;s husband in the morning drama &#8220;Tora ni Tsubasa&#8221; (NHK). In July, he starred in the drama &#8220;Shinjuku Field Hospital&#8221; (Fuji TV) with Eiko Koike.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> In films, he has appeared in &#8220;Laughing Cribs&#8221; (released in January), &#8220;April, She&#8217;s the One&#8221; (released in April), &#8220;Honshin&#8221; (in theaters now), and &#8220;Saint Oniisan the Movie&#8221; (to be released next month), all of which are hot topics.</p>
<p> In addition, he is currently starring in a stage production of &#8220;My Home on the Mountain Pass,&#8221; in which he co-stars with Fumi Nikaido. He is now in the process of blossoming as an actor.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He was impressed by the drama &#8220;WATER BOYS&#8221; (Fuji Television) when he was in elementary school, and at the age of 13, he entered the entertainment industry because of his admiration for Takayuki Yamada, who starred in the drama. Shota Sometani, who was a good friend of Yamada&#8217;s at the same age, won the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice International Film Festival for the movie &#8220;Himizu&#8221; in 2011. While Masaki Suda, another classmate, was making his breakthrough, he was unable to find a way to make his mark even though he was over 20 years old. That is why he got his big break when he entered his 30s. He played the leading role in a major drama earlier than Someya and Sugata. I think he must be very pleased with this accomplishment.</span></p>
<p> The origin of the name &#8220;Taiga.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The origin of the name &#8220;Taiga&#8221; is as follows.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;I want my child to appear in Taiga and play the leading role. I want him to play a leading role in a major TV drama.</span></p>
<p> His father, Hideo Nakano, named him. Does the spirit of words exist in the world of entertainment?</p>
