Benkei
Directed by Akira InoueWhen it comes to Ken Matsudaira's Benkei, the one that stands out in memory is from the 2005 NHK Taiga drama "Yoshitsune". However, this production was a New Year's special that aired in 1997, produced by Toei, and directed by veteran filmmaker Akira Inoue, who had worked for Daiei. It has a strong entertainment flavor fitting for a New Year's production, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and genders. The performances of the supporting cast, such as Koutaro Satomi and Makoto Fujita, are also noteworthy.
