Interview
About Chapter Three:
It was an opportunity to do things I normally can't do. I played both twin brothers and as they're fat I had to have a makeover. With the approval of Ishiduka (who is also...fat) I felt assured. The only difference in Yanbo and Mabo's appearances is where they separate their hair. But I played them differently. Yanbo was more arrogant while Mabo was sly. I grew up on Toho Monster movies so this was a very special movie for me to take part in. I felt so honoured. I felt a burning desire to pass on the movie's message to the next generation!
