One of my first (but hopefully not last) contributions to the emerging trivia on Shôgun:

Lady Ochiba / Ruri, the mother of the Taiko's heir Yaechiyo, is based on Lady Yodo/Chacha (1569-1615), niece to Oda Nobunaga and second spouse of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. We see her here as the primary moving force shoring up her son's position and the patron of Toranaga's rival Ishido.

Fumi Nikaido as Lady Ochiba, Shôgun, 2024

What makes the casting of this one very interesting is that Fumi Nikaido has played the actual role of Yodo/Chacha in a similar period production, the 2014 NHK taiga drama Gunshi Kanbei (which was primarily about Kuroda Kanbei, the strategist of Hideyoshi played by Junichi Okada).

Fumi Nikaido as Yodo, Gunshi Kanbei, 2014

While there's enough hype for Toranaga (especially as he is portrayed by public favorite and producer Hiroyuki Sanada--rightfully so), I wish to highlight Fumi Nikaido's return to this role as it does help highlight the differences between how Lady Yodo is portrayed in fiction. (It does help that we have no shortage of it now--even if it's mostly in videogames like Samurai Warriors, Sengoku Basara or the more historically-faithful Nioh).

The material we have of Lady Ochiba so far is of a proud, haughty, even disrespectful woman--and perhaps it's not exactly far off from how Chacha is portrayed even in Japanese media. To some extent, even Gunshi Kanbei conceded to this especially in the episodes I'm referring with this photo--what with it precisely being the moment Yodo is fearing coming to pass. A mother seeking to protect her son's patrimony (and by extension, her agency and regency), it's a universal trope in feudal drama. What Shôgun does not give her yet (but Gunshi Kanbei took pains to establish) is the recognition that she is as much a victim of the warring era, turning her into a self-loathing monster only able to survive trying to make sense of it all, and maybe recover their agency in it. Clavell rightfully gave it to his main focus character, Lady Mariko (played very layered and well by Anna Sawai compared to her more recent outings--herself based on Hosokawa Gracia).

It truly amazes me that 10 years has yet to make much of a difference for Fumi Nikaido and this role. The woman whose position at the top was only made possible by misery and her playing by the cruel game of chaos, she portrays both versions with the edge, anxiety and palpable will of a woman who's lost everything before and is at the doorstep of losing them again.

Fumie Hosokawa 細川ふみえ - Chocolate だっこしてチョ

[genevieveetguy]

It’s just like I said, your mom moved away. In case you’d come looking, she left this bell for you. It’s an Angel bell. If ever you’re sad or in trouble, just ring this bell. An Angel will come to help. Go on. Ring it. An Angel might bring your mom.

Kikujiro (Kikujirô no natsu), Takeshi Kitano (1999)

           ↳ 101: Did you ever have to learn something in order to play a character

[⚰️] I used to have a Space Dandy blog. So, there were a lot of things that I immersed myself in to get a better understanding of the character. Hawaiian culture, Japanese yankii subculture, outdated lingo... yet, my most useless nuggets of knowledge came from researching mid-1970′s to late 1990′s gravure idols.

In the show, Dandy brings up that his favorite model is Agnes Lum, who appropriately enough made Japan’s big boob fixation popular. I also learned she was the inspiration for Lum Invader from Urusei Yatsura. As such, I delved into those certain areas so that I could occasionally reference those saucy little ladies, and now I’m shamefully an expert on vintage Japanese glamour models.

Was the research worth it? Hell fucking no. Anyway, here’s a tiddy icon since it’s relevant to this horrible story:

According to an issue of Neo Geo Freak, Mai's bust was modeled on Fumie Hosokawa and her buttocks on Ai Iijima; both women were famous idols at the time.

Joker Game Anime: List of the main people who worked at it

A lot of people worked at the Joker Game anime... but somehow I couldn’t find an English list anywhere.

So, since while translating the ‘story’ pages from the official web I had to find out who was who, I decided to also catch this chance to make a list for the ones that the official web takes care to credit for each episode (the authors of the script and storyboard and the director and the animation director).

There are of course many more people behind each episode and just the names might not tell you much but I still think it’s worth to know them.
