Shonentai's Noriyuki Higashiyama (43) will star in a new movie called "Ogawa no Hotori." The film is being directed by Tetsuo Shinohara, who last worked with Higashiyama in the award-winning 2008 film "Yamazakura."

Like "Yamazakura," "Ogawa no Hotori" is based on a story by well-known author Shuhei Fujisawa. Higashiyama plays the part of a samurai in the fictional Unasaka clan (the clan appears in many of Fujisawa's works). For the climax scene, it is said that Higashiyama will undergo intense physical training.

Higashiyama's support cast consists of Ryo Katsuji, Ainosuke Kataoka, Machiko Ono, Chieko Matsubara, Takashi Sasano, Tokuma Nishioka, and Tatsuya Fuji. Theatrical release is scheduled for early summer 2011.
