00:00I was a child actor, so I always thought about, hmm, when can I play oishi? Long time. And this
00:14time they offered me the oishi, and I was surprised. Oh my god, in Hollywood, in English, playing oishi?
00:26Yeah, it was a good surprise. And also, it's a very challenging project, because only one English actor coming into
00:39the Japanese cast, and all in English for the samurai film.
00:44And it's 3D, and a lot of challenging things included. So, okay, here comes the time to go into the
00:59next step.
01:03This is the best way to telling the story and introduce our culture to the world with a fantasy. You
01:12know, the truth and spirit is there, but wrapped by a lot of CGI and fantasy.
01:33We tried to make a trade the fighting style during the whole journey. You know, he learned samurai style from
01:49me, and I learned survival, real fighting from him.
01:56So, learning each other, respecting each other, and at the end, close over, and he's doing the samurai style, I'm
02:07doing the wild survival style. You know, it's a good exchange.
02:14What kind of training?
02:15Very creative fighting training we had. And then Keanu was a great learner, you know, quick learner. And then he
02:30trained very hard. And we spent a long time together.
02:34So, we developed the friendship during the training as like a character.
02:42So, let's go.
02:42Well, let's move on to the next step.
02:42Okay.
02:43Let's go.
02:43Let's go.
02:43You
