As we get close to the premiere of the live-action adaptation of the popular anime, Nintama Rantaro this Summer, more cast members for the upcoming film are being revealed! Seishiro Kato was earlier revealed to play the titular character, Rantaro for the movie.
Actors such as Kaga Takeshi, Emoto Akira, Ishibashi Renji (Kamen Rider Decade), and Yamamoto Yusuke (Kamen Rider Kabuto and the upcoming Ouran High JDrama) transformed into a variety of characters from the show with the help of special makeup and costume.
The movie features a wide variety of big name actors and actresses: Dan Rei and Nakamura Shido will be playing Rantaro’s parents and Takenaka Naoto will be playing the role of the assassin. Other actors in the movie are: Yamamoto Koji, Furuta Arata and Ishigaki Yuma.
The anime was based on Soubee Amako's Rakudai Ninja Rantarō ninja gag manga which is about the adventures of Rantarō and other ninja apprentices at an elite ninjutsu academy. The story is set in Japan during the tumultuous Sengoku Jidai (Era of the Warring States). As first-graders, Rantarō and his ninja-in-training friends are called "Nintama," a contraction of the words "ninja" and "tamago" (egg).
