Director Miike Takashi’s live-action adaption of the popular anime “Nintama Rantaro” is going to open in cinemas on July 23rd. The story follows the adventures of Inadera Rantaro, a young boy who aims to become a great ninja, at the ninja school. Popular child actor Kato Seishiro is going to play Rantaro.
Apart from the child actors playing the nintamas, ninja students (lit. ninja eggs), there are several other actors filling the roles of teachers, family members and other characters. Actress Anne is one of them, playing Yamamoto Shina, a kunoichi (female ninja) who often switches between the forms of a young and an old woman and teacher of the female nintamas.
Now that raises the question which actors and actresses would actually make some nice ninjas. The staff of goo/NTT DoCoMo once again didn’t hesitate long and put up a poll on their mobile portal.
