Specifically, this time around we're going to take a closer look to the feats of the Toyotomi clan, since when the two brothers Toukichiro and Kouchiro were nothing but poor, yet ambitious farmers, trying their luck in the most troubled times of Japanese history.
The protagonist here is the younger brother Kouchiro, soon-to-be Toyotomi Hidenaga, the younger brother of the most illustrious Hideyoshi. Both are respectively portrayed by Taiga Nakano and Sousuke Ikematsu.
Of course Nobunaga is going to be featured in the series, and this time our favourite warlord is portrayed by Shun Oguri, that most of you would remember as yet another Nobunaga, the Saburo of Nobunaga Concerto:
Other notable characters include Ichi, Nobunaga's sister, portrayed by Aoi Miyazaki:
and Shibata Katsuie by Makiya Yamaguchi:
As usual, I have no way to follow the drama (and just got to know about it because some comments about it popped on Twitter!) so I can't tell much about Oguri's portrayal of Nobunaga here, besides the vague impression I got from the previews (looks like he had the chance to go with a more traditional Nobunaga here!); I'll try to keep an eye on it, anyway, as important bits of Nobunaga history unfolds.
