You mean Blekt.

Sounds like he/she was born to play this role.

i would guess based on historical dates that he wouldn't show up thankfully til at least 1/3rd of the way through.

LOL, that seems to be the consensus opinion...
I can see this Taiga having cost overruns due to makeup usage.

No interest seeing it perform.

I gave it a try last Saturday. Just can't get into Taiga dramas....
I had to watch it to see one of my super favorites Ikewaki Chizuru....
Too bad.... She is hopelessly miscast in this. She should only play in modern dramas like Honma Mon and Taiyou no Kisetsu.
her voice is too pure for the usual taiga grunting that passes for acting, not that she is grunting in this but everybody else is and she is just simply out of place...

I dunno, ralph, I agree there is always a lot of grunting and frothing at the mouth that goes on in Taigas, that's just the nature of the beast. One of the things I like about Fuurin Kazan is there are several women playing more than just bit parts. Besides Ikewaki, there's Jun Fubuki who is always good, and this newcomer Yuki Shibamoto as Princess Yuu. I'm liking this Taiga a lot so far.

I liked the princess too. then as usual all the sets and scenes are so dark and moody that it's just plain depressing to watch. I'm just a "nice lively comedy romance a la Love Generation" guy. The world is depressing enough without having to watch incessant bloodshed and dark sets like petrified forests for entertainment.
But I am a devoted Hidden Blade fan... though I don't think that is a real Taiga drama, the story actually moved along and the sets were bright enough so you could tell which actors were on the sets and there was no grunting.

You hit the nail on the head.
And besides, the women are all covered up.
