In a recent interview to SFN,
actress Rila Fukushima talked about her character, Yukio and more.
“What can you tell us about your
character?
My character is called Yukio, she’s [the older] Shingen’s
bodyguard. She’s been in the comics before. She’s working for the powerful
Yashida family, and she meets Logan outside of Japan and brings him back to
Shingen [senior], after that she becomes his bodyguard. It’s an interesting
relationship. I don’t want to say too much because it’s an exciting part of the
film. I’ll say this: she’s his bodyguard [laughs]
How much is your Yukio like the
comic-book Yukio?
She’s a lot like the original character, although she doesn’t look
the same. She’s very strong and confident, she’s a badass basically.
…
Was
it an interesting atmosphere with such an international cast and crew?
We actually shot in Tokyo for two weeks, and we were shooting
Australia but half the crew are from LA and the other half were Australian. It
was great, so many people talking about their own culture. I’d never been to
Australia before I shot The
Wolverine, and Australian people were great, and then when we were
shooting up here – that was great, because I live in Japan [laughs].
…
James
Mangold described Yukio as being more like a Manga character, do you see her
like that?
In a way, even though she comes from the comic, James Mangold
wanted her to look different. Maybe I do see her in that way – she has
colourful hair, and maybe that’s something more common in Japanese comics!”
