Actress
Tao Okamoto, who plays Mariko Yashida in The Wolverine talks about her
character and the film, in this interview to SFN.
“What
can you tell us about Mariko?
She’s
from the richest family in Japan, so I think she always had an usual childhood
and she couldn’t have normal relationships with other children, other kids. So
I think she’s very strong, but insecure with herself, maybe something I could
share. I felt rejected by other kids at school and that’s why I liked Mariko,
that’s something I brought into her.
Why is she drawn to Logan?
They
have this empathy between them, as neither of them have a normal life. Logan is
immortal and she is not a regular girl, so that made her feel like maybe they
could understand each other.
…
We’re you worried about depicting
Japan as full of Ninja and Yakuza?
I’d
be worried Japanese people would notice if it was a lie or not, and I didn’t
want to make mistakes, but I loved the mixture of reality and fantasy. We don’t
have Samurai or Ninja anymore, but it’s a movie!
…
What’s
it like seeing Hugh flip from being this nice guy to being this angry maniac?
He’s
totally Wolverine on set, it’s very scary. I didn’t have to fight with him, but
some stunt team guys said they were actually frightened. Like he was going to
kill them! When he’s off set, he’s totally the nicest man in the world – he’s a
dad, and when he’s with his kids he’s the nicest dad in the world!
