Cast reveal and infos about "Okehazama" TV Special

--It looks like on March 26, Fuji TV will grant its audience a 2+ hours-long TV special focused on Nobunaga and his "turning point" with the battle of Okehazama.
The title is Okehazama ~Oda Nobunaga, the Birth of the Overlord~ (桶狭間~織田信長 覇王の誕生~, Okehazama ~Oda Nobunaga Haō no Tanjō~) and it will feature legendary actor Ichikawa Ebizo XI as Nobunaga.
This is not the first time for Ichikawa as Nobunaga, in fact he interpreted him already in the taiga drama Naotora: The Lady Warlord (2017).

Interviews to the actors involved and stuff around mention how awesome Ichikawa-sama is as Nobunaga, and I'm really exctied to see him in action.
The promotional pictures around are just stunning.
The movie is going to star Hirose Suzu as Nouhime (LET'S TALK ABOUT AGE GAPS GUYS--), Mikami Hiroshi as Imagawa Yoshimoto, Satou Koichi as Saito Dousan, Kitamura Kazuki is Oda Nobuhide and Kuroki Hitomi is Dota-gozen.

Fun note, both older daughter and son of Ichikawa are going to be part of the movie, too: Botan is going to perform as a younger Nouhime, and Shin'nosuke as a younger Nobunaga. The rest of the cast witnessed the kids being followed in their acting by their father.
