Hey, you like Sengoku Basara? You know, those samurai games Capcom makes that are wildly popular in Japan and aren’t exactly historically accurate? Well, good news. And bad news.
One does not become a kabuki actor, it’s a male-only birthright. There are kabuki dynasties, and only the oldest son can star in kabuki theatre. One of Japan’s most popular Kabuki actors just got his face smashed in. It might cost him his career.
Sengoku Basara is a huge smash in Japan. It has spawned a stage play, a televised anime, a manga and even a licensed theme park attraction. That’s not all.
Capcom’s Sengoku Basara is popular in Japan. So popular that it has its own theme park attraction at the base of Mount Fuji. How many games can say that?
