Takeru Satoh, the star of the recently released live-action Rurouni Kenshin film, told the Japanese website Hollywood Channel that he wants to play the youthful assassin Killua from the Hunter × Hunter manga. In an article published on Thursday, the website had asked Satoh about which real-life character he would like to play next (Shinsengumi swordsman Okita Sōji), as well as which manga character.
Satoh did acknowledge with a laugh, "But since [Killua] is 12 years old…He's a little young for me."
