Amaya Takeru:
Shun's schoolmate. He calmly says "It's only natural for incompetent trash die", he sincerely enjoys this time's unusual circumstance. He has an outstanding intelligence and physical strength as well as cool-headed judgement. By any means, he acts for his own survival.
Comment:
Amaya is a man with beast-like power & brutality. But, to portray him as a normal human who seemed sharp and strong given the situation [he's in], I had a hard time. (laughs) For example, he would glare at an opponent like a snake does to a frog. It's only a glare, a scary face, but just an eerie face is no good. Real hatred has to be there. I have to look down on my opponent and truly make him shiver, [I] realized that it's [all] trial and error. In this film, there are a lot of glaring scenes, I'll be happy if for a moment the viewers thought "I got chills". (laughs) To able to work with Director Miike after a long time, made me very excited. 10 years ago, I was under his supervision in "Yokai Daisensou" (05), before filming [started] I was extremely looking forward to it. Director, expands the actor's imagination, [and he] increasingly draws out a performance from his guidance, [during] this time too, he really helped me.
