Oda Nobunaga - THE FOOL WHO CONQUERED JAPAN
Oda Nobunaga lives on in the annals of history as the one who began the unification of Japan during the warring states era.
TBS has produced a star-studded drama that focuses on Nobunaga's early days, before his rise to power. Inde-pendent and rough-mannered, young Nobunaga cares little about the protocols of clan life, finding more fascination in the study of warfare.
His vassals are exasperated with his wild ways and even his mother shows preference to her younger son becoming heir to the Oda Clan. But Nobunaga's father arranges the marriage of his elder son to the daughter of a political rival and sets into motion a chain of events that would change Nobunaga's life.
Rock idol Kimura Takuya of SMAP is perfect in the role of the youthful, energetic Nobunaga and heads a line-up that includes Ishida Ayumi, Kobayashi Nenji, Nishida Toshiyuki and Nakatani Miki.
