eek sorry Kitano actually played Toshizo Hijikata! (my favorite Shinsengumi maaan!!! pardon me) and he is also attracted to Matsuda, though not as crazily as Asano.

Posted in: Kitano discusses new film on homosexual relations in samurai era, Japan's showbiz world See in context

Kitano has actually played as (not-so) side character in Nagisa Ogisa's Shinsengumi-themed movie Taboo (Gohatto 御法度) in 1999, where the main character (Tadanobu Asano) had a near-obsession passion for bishonen Ryuhei Matsuda, so he's already quite familiar with the subject. He also played a very violent yakuza who had a master-(sex) slave relationship with his host-like ikemen underling in Gonin*, so he always stroke me as someone who wasn't anti-gay. Maybe his 2012 foot-in-mouth same-sex marriage joke was just said trying to be funny (though he failed miserably.)

he played Shinsegumi boss Isami Kondo, who wasn't involved in a same-sex relationship in the movie, but he was more of an observer/bystander of Asano and Matsuda's (very) tense relationship.

if you're not a permanent resident, you have to renew your mynumber card every single time your visa is due for renewal. it's such a hassle that after the second time I reverted back to the green paper version; they should really address the issue if they want people to apply for a card.
