The 1996 Taiga drama Hideyoshi stands as a pinnacle of Sengoku-period historical dramas. Naoto Takenaka brilliantly embodies Hideyoshi's legendary journey from an impoverished peasant to ruler of Japan through sheer hard work, resourcefulness, and resilience. Tetsuya Watari's Oda Nobunaga radiates supreme authority, and their on-screen chemistry sparks brilliantly in a magnificent and deeply human epic.
From Douban When you think of Hideyoshi, you think of Naoto Takenaka. Even in drama, it is incredible that a man running around in a loincloth gnawing on a radish rises to become the unifier of Japan. His desire to serve Oda Nobunaga—the one man who treated him as human after years of being despised as a monkey—makes for great storytelling. The dynamic between Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Mitsuhide felt like a royal road historical drama.
hiza10ji on Hatena Blog The lead role of Toyotomi Hideyoshi was played by Naoto Takenaka. Portraying him from his days as a poor young peasant, his performance was defined by relentless energy from start to finish. Tetsuya Watari was without a doubt the greatest Nobunaga in Taiga history.
