The Blood of Wolves Tidbits about Tori Matsuzaka
- Author Yuko Yuzuki

I met him for the first time at production announcement press-con waiting room. He seemed very gentle and kind, so I asked him if he would be okay with playing the role of Hioka, who is covered in blood.

But after watching the movie, I wanted to sincerely apologize to him for worrying.

Hioka cries, but I cried more than him in that scene. I've never cried when reading my own novels, and I don't think I ever will, but I cried so hard in that scene. That's how wonderful he was.

There was one more thing that troubled me. I'm not the type of person who writes with a model in mind, but when I was writing Hioka in Book 2 (Kyou Inu no Me, Lit. The Eye of Evil Dog?), I kept thinking the image of Matsuzaka playing Hioka.

Tori Matsuzaka
- Ano Toki Kiss Shite Okeba

It's a luxury for me to be in a position where I can watch my seniors throw homework at each other. My role Momochi, is to catch their performances and create them by accepting them. I am watching my co-stars more than usual.

Tori: In the early stages of filming, Arata Iura copied the Tomoe, that was created by Kumiko Aso. But as the story progressed, Aso copied the Tomoe, that was created by Iura.

Tori: I think the hardest part of this drama is Arata Iura, who has to express the image of Tomoe created by Kumiko Aso, and then create new parts of Tomoe such as growth, sadness and laughter by himself. Watching him up close is a great learning experience for me.

CUT Introduction

One of Japan's leading actors. It is no exaggeration to say that Tori Matsuzaka is now in that position. This must be a fact that everyone knows.

However, what I felt through this interview was that he himself is never satisfied with his current situation, never gets overwhelmed, and calmly focuses on what he needs to do now. "I don't have enough experience at the moment," he said without hesitation.

In other words, the kind of actor and character he is looking for is far beyond our imagination. I wonder if there are any actors who can give us such a thrilling experience. In recent years, he has been appearing in a number of solid films, but his next challenge is a comedy.

Ima Koko ni Aru Kiki to Boku no Koukando ni Tsuite
- Tori Matsuzaka
#KokoBoku_NHK

I want to pass on the thoughts and messages of the creator to the recipients. I am doing all the works with the hope that I can serve as a bridge between the two parties.

Tori: I believe an actor's job is to deliver the intention and essence of the work as it is. However, I feel the current trend is "playing it safe". Even in dramas, there is a principle that the direction of the work is influenced by the comments on the Internet.

Tori: I want my work to be soothing and supportive, so I want it to be delivered without any deviation from the original. If it takes a different form by neglecting its essence, the meaning of my participation will be lost.
