The official website for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Sui Ishida's dark fantasy manga series Tokyo Ghoul today confirmed that 27-year-old kabuki actor Minosuke Bando II is cast as Uta, the ghoul owns Hysy ArtMask Studio and has tattoos around his body, and posted two photos of the character in the film. While working as a kabuki actor, he hs joined two jidaigeki films, Sakuradamongai no Hen in 2010 and Kiyosu Kaigi in 2013. Tokyo Ghoul is his first film set in the modern day Japan.
"Honestly, I hesitated very much when I received the offer in the beginning. Because only things Uta-san and I have in common are that both don't have eyebrows and have close-cropped hair..."

正直、最初にお話を頂いた時はすごく迷いました。ウタさんと自分の共通点なんて、眉毛がない事とサイドが刈り上げな事くらいなので…。(つづく)#東京喰種 pic.twitter.com/tYuxKI9IgS
"However, thanks to the staff members who collected the perfect Uta-san set for me, from his tattoos,
pierced earrings, clothes, to permanent red eyes, I was able to decide to devote myself to play."

(つづき)ですが、タトゥーにピアス、服装から常時赫眼に至るまで、スタッフの皆様が完璧なウタさんセットを用意して下さったので、腹を括って演じさせて頂きました。(つづく)#東京喰種 pic.twitter.com/nnaO2ZvvZE
"I am a little worried, because I am also a big fan of the original manga. But I would be happy if I could
become the Uta-san that other same fans of the manga will be able to accept."

(つづき)僕自身が原作の大ファンなので不安もありますが、同じ原作ファンの方々にも受け入れて頂けるウタさんになれていたら幸いです。
