Fushigi Yuugi: Amiboshi

The elder twin of Suboshi, Amiboshi is a Seiryuu Celestial warrior born under the star “Neck (亢)”. He is able to emit chi through his mouth and uses the flute to control others. Amiboshi holds the instrument to the left when he is using his powers, and to the right when he is simply playing.

Under Nakago’s orders, Amiboshi impersonated Chiriko and grew close to Miaka and the other Suzaku warriors. He almost succeeded in killing the Suzaku warriors during their attempt to summon Suzaku, but the real Chiriko appeared and saved everyone. Amiboshi tried to escape, but Miaka wanted to save him, claiming that anyone who plays such beautiful music cannot be evil. He later fell into the river and was presumed dead.

I thought I recognized this stage actor! He is Hattori Tsubasa, who played Shikimaru Nara in the Naruto Musical! He is still as handsome as ever, and definitely suits the role of Amiboshi!

For the fans who saw Shu no Shou, how was it? Was it loyal to the original manga? Did you have a favorite character?

Naruto: Shikamaru Nara 02

Shikamaru Nara had always been a seemingly unenthusiastic kid who preferred to watch the clouds over practically everything else. If he could, he would much rather avoid “troublesome” activities such as training and fighting. Although he claims to be “the number one coward”, he actually has a strong sense of justice, and would sacrifice himself for the sake of his comrades without a second thought.

I’m pretty sure most of you have already heard about the new Naruto Stage coming out next month in Japan, and that many of you have probably seen the cast photos everywhere, but… I thought I’d feature them one at a time anyway! A lot of my friends are swooning over Hattori Tsubaba’s portrayal of Nara, so I suppose I should feature him first. Thanks to Kotaku of sharing this!
