The theatrical release for Rurouni Kenshin isn't until August 25th, but from the 13th through the 16th, they're doing premieres in four major metropolitan areas. These premieres occur in Nagoya, Osaka, Tokyo and Fukuoka, and include the director, Keishi Otomo, and the actor playing the starring role, Takeru Sato doing introductions and greeting the audience. In the Nagoya theater, some seven hundred fans came out in the morning heat to fill the theater to standing room only. (Culture, Live-Action, Rurouni Kenshin)
