<Comments
Anne
Kingdom Part 1 was the first movie I went to see at the theater after giving birth.
It had been several years since I had been to a movie theater, and I was elated to see Kingdom,
I was so excited to see Kingdom in the movie theater for the first time in several years, and the world of my favorite manga was projected right in front of me.
I was hoping to play the role of Zixia if there was a sequel, but I never thought I would be given the role.
Zixia is an important character who had a great influence on Yomei's life in the past.
As a fan of the original story, I am very happy to see this episode being made into a film.


Director Shinsuke Sato
I remember Anzu-san wearing a pale pink cloak and coming to the scene with her stylist, Mr. Miyamoto, to check her costume. The image of Murasaki Natsu fluttering through a difficult piece of music like a butterfly or petal dancing in the wind was born there. During the filming, Anne played the role of Shixia with sincerity and great flexibility. She carefully took each cut, checking various behaviors. What was projected in this way was the strength of a black market merchant who pulls people along with her bold behavior, and the warmth of a motherly figure who envelops. Shixia is one of the major frameworks of this work. With her support, a new Kingdom was born that had never existed before, the Flame of Destiny.


Producer Shinzo Matsuhashi
In the "Flame of Destiny" section, the great battle with the Cho army finally begins,
The story of Shixia, one of the most "tear-jerking" episodes in the original story, is told.
The story of self-sacrifice and selfless love will light up the world of "Kingdom" and will surely touch people's hearts.
Shixia is the soul of "Kingdom," and her presence alone,
A character that is righteous and sincere must emerge.
And she must be a person with deep and broad motherly love,
We had no hesitation in offering the role to Anne.
We are excited to share this wonderful story with you as soon as possible.


We are very excited to show you this wonderful story as soon as possible.
