Fans of Takuya Kimura. Brace yourself. For this is the Takuya Kimura you’ve never seen before. Without a head of complete hair.
That’s Takuya as a blind samurai in his upcoming movie Bushi No Ichibun which is slated for debut end December in Japan. This is the third and final in the trilogy that started with ‘The Twilight Samurai’ and continued with ‘The Hidden Blade’, all written and directed by Yoji Yamada. Sounds like a George Lucas’ Star Wars production eh?
I admit. Takuya’s looking unattractive and I’m disappointed. But let’s face it. As a samurai, he’s supposed to be good with his sword, not his hairstyle. At least he’s looking the part of a samurai and not just the usual handsome gorgeous Takuya Kimura. Already many critics have scoffed at Yoji Yamada’s lead casting choice and it’s therefore of utmost importance that Takuya is able to come off with nothing but a great performance here.
Man, let’s show them what you’re made of!
For those who wants to get used to Takuya as a samurai without a complete head of hair, go watch the 1-min version here.
Alamak! So un-Takuya with the bald island hairstyle. I still prefer his usual floppy long hair.
