It is confirmed. Plans for adapting a live-action film adaption of Nobuhiko Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin (Also known as Samurai X in South East Asia) is on the works, with Takeru Sato (Kamen Rider Den-O's Ryotaro Nogami, Bloody Monday's Otoya) playing the role of the X-scared samurai.
There were also rumors of Kenshin being played by Miura Haruma, Oguri Shun, Ikuta Toma, etc. but the staff settled on Sato Takeru as they saw him to be more fit for the role.
There are plans back then to adapt this film but due to the technology, they can't pursue with the plan. There also offers coming from Hollywood to adapt this film but Watsuki declined those offers.

Considering that Takeru will play as Kenshin, I have no problem with it, I mean he was able to pull off playing 6 different personalities in Kamen Rider Den-O, then he can pull of playing Kenshin who is best known for his two sides, the friendly and peaceful one and his darker side, Battousai.
