“#Johnny's West Member Ryusei Fujii Cast as Makuro Shikigami in Kakegurui Live-action Film Sequel”
The official website for the live-action adaptation project based on Homura Kawamoto (story) and Toru Naomura (art)'s gambling themed manga Kakegurui announced today that Ryusei Fujii, a 27-year-old member of Johnny & Associates' boys idol group Johnny's West, is cast as Makuro Shikigami in the forthcoming sequel film. It is the first time that he has played a villain character.
The character is introduced as "a dangerous man who was driven out of Hyakkaou Private Academy after an incident that occurred two years ago. He is a skilled gambler with a special ability called "synesthesia" and plunges the school into chaos."
Message from Ryusei Fujii:
I had been watching "Kakegrui Season 1" on TV, so I was surprised when I was offered the role. I remember I was very happy because I was not always given the role of a heel in my acting career. The worldview of the series was the same as I had seen on TV, and I felt the core strength from Yumeko. And the other actors, such as Mary and the student council president, I was scared out of my wits when they faced each other, even though they were only acting. But since I was playing the role of the biggest enemy, I knew I couldn't lose. I consulted the director closely to create the most outrageous character in the series, from his visuals to gestures. Every scene in the film is a highlight, so please look forward to it.
