Kamiki will play the Sōjirō Seta, who fans will remember is the young, right-hand man to Kenshin's main adversary in the film, Makoto Shishio, who will be portrayed by "Death Note" actor Tatsuya Fujiwara. Iseya will portray Aoshi Shinomori, the leader of the government faction of ninja assassins and agents, the Oniwabanshū. The two characters are reportedly set to feature in both sequel films, "Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire" and "Rurouni Kenshin: The End of a Legend." Filming is currently underway for the back-to-back shoot with both films set for release next summer.

Previously confirmed, the sequels will see the return of Takeru Satoh as Kenshin Himura and Keishi Ōtomo in the director's chair for Studio Swan.

wait...TWO sequels??! Oh, I'm pumped. The first was amazing. Even if you don't watch the anime or read the manga - it was just a well put together film, top to bottom from character accuracy to fight choreography.

Just an amazing film.

I need to know who will play Hiko, my favorite character. Joe Odagiri will be a great choice.

I really loved Yusuke Iseya as Rikiishi in the live action Ashita no Joe.
