Takahiro Sakurai will play the role of Yoshimitsu Ashikaga, the third shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate who has big ambitions and high pride, and who searches for the "flower" that attracts people in order to unite the world. Nobuo Tobita plays the role of Yoshimoto Nijo, a former Kanpaku and a noble poet who calls himself a “follower” (fan) of Oniyasha. Mamiko Noto plays the role of Nariko, who is Yoshimitsu's legal wife and watches over Oniyasha and the others.
Sakurai says of the work, ``It's a work that witnesses the beginning of Noh. Even if you don't have any knowledge like me, you can fully enjoy the fantastic story and beautiful animation.'' We also received a comment from series composer and screenwriter Sawako Kawamitsu, who expressed her thoughts, saying, ``It was a day when I desperately continued to dance, using all of my own history.Even now, many creators with their own histories continue to dance.''
