Mr. Ryohei Suzuki, who plays the role of "Ryo Saeba", enthusiastically said, "I'm trembling with tension" and "I will take care of him with love and responsibility."

The live-action version has been filmed in Hong Kong, South Korea, and France so far, but this is the first time in Japan, the original home.We aim to create a live-action adaptation unique to Japan by taking advantage of the actual shooting in Shinjuku and the unique Japanese nuances expressed in the original work.The stage of the story is modern Shinjuku.Along with that, the character settings have also been slightly updated.Ryo's costume is not the jacket of the anime version, but a long coat from the original manga, and the collar is changed from a stainless steel collar to a Tyroken coat.In the photo released this time, Ryo Saeba is standing in the city hunter's office with the night view of Shinjuku in the background, with his finger on the hammer of his favorite Colt Python 357 Magnum.

Set in Shinjuku in Reiwa, the story of Ryo Saeba who lives in the present age will start now.

In the past, I was fascinated by Ryohei Suzuki's passion and dedication to his work through the work I did with him, and I strongly thought, "I want to work with him again someday."As someone who has continued to follow the story of Ryo and Kaori through the original and animation, Ryohei played the role of Ryo Saeba and said, ``I wonder what kind of uproar is behind the current Shinjuku. I can't hide my excitement just by imagining.Together with Director Sato and the cast and staff, we aim to bring out the charm of the original work of "City Hunter", which is loved all over the world, and to create a live-action adaptation that has never been seen before.

​​After about 10 years of planning (laughs), we finally started cranking.I've always wanted to have someone who likes "City Hunter" do the live-action adaptation, and I received an offer to have Ryohei Suzuki play the role of Ryo Saehan.It took a long time after that, but thanks to Ryohei's undying passion, we were finally able to welcome this day.I was also able to observe the shooting, and the scene seemed to be very friendly and fun.I felt that he was involved with good actors and staff, and I was really looking forward to it.It may be a misnomer, but I would be happy if you could pursue the real interest of movies without sticking to manga-like expressions.
