Konichiwa.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too, Mokkori-san.

Oh, you can call me Ryohei.

Ok. So, City Hunter… I bet you had to do some “favors” for the producer to get this role.

Yes. The producer knew for… for a long time about my passion… about making a live action of City Hunter. So they, you know, they went to the studios and streaming platforms and eventually, you know, Netflix gave a hand. So when I got news, you know, I thought… I imagine I’d be really happy that it’s finally becoming true.

But actually the reality was I felt tremendous pressure because I, you know, I never wanted to ruin the thing I love most in my life. You know, there’s always a possibility and… I’ve seen so many live action adaptation that goes disaster. You know.

So I… That’s why I decided to join the team also… not only as an actor but also as a… a kind of adviser.

If the hardcore fans dislike the movie you’re the person they should send hate mails to?

Yes, well. Our version… I believe our version is the most authentic version of City Hunter.

So can I get your e-mail?

You shot a lot of the movie on location in Shinjuku. Did you find it difficult to acting with so many distractions around, like host clubs.

How many times did I break character?

I guess that’s one way of putting it.

I don’t like break character, especially when I… when I play in a comedy scene, because I believe the more seriously you play, the funnier it gets. So I… I try to play as seriously as possible when I do comedy scene, but the funny moments come between the shoot.

You know, when I’m waiting for the next shoot… next cut… next take I mean, and the audience was all there like one hundred… one hundred people watching me… and I’m almost naked, you know. And I suddenly felt embarrassed and I… I could not just stand there and let them… let them watch.

So, you know, I was just talking to them. I was making them laugh with, you know, completely naked body. That was a surreal moment, but, you know, it was strange. I felt… I was not feeling embarrassed or anything in that scene and I wondered why.

And then I realized that I did almost the same thing ten years ago in the film called ‘Hentai Kamen.’ It’s a… It’s a about a… It’s about superhero that has a superpower when… when he wears women’s panties and he transforms into like naked superhero.

That is the thing I did in two… ten years ago so I was kind of used to it.
