Shōgun Star Moeka Hoshi Talks Playing Fan-Favorite Character Usami Fuji In The Hit Series
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Shōgun was one of the biggest hit shows of 2024, bringing James Clavell’s 1975 novel to life in a way never before seen. Brought to television by showrunners Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo, Shōgun realized 1600 Japan in stunning detail with the help of star and producer Hiroyuki Sanada, who plays Lord Yoshii Toranaga in the series.
Hoshi Reflects On Playing Fuji & The “Freedom” Given To Her By Showrunner Justin Marks Screen Rant: I read that you were the first person to reach out to Justin Marks about your character. What did you come to understand about Fuji in those first conversations? The Limited Communication Between Fuji & Blackthorne Was Echoed By The Actors Themselves Fuji spends so much time with Blackthorne, and he doesn't understand the people around him during the show. I imagine that's kind of what it was like for Cosmo Jarvis on set too. What was it like working with him, both in scenes and in spending time together?
Fuji, at first, did not like Blackthorne at all. Was there a moment where you think she developed a respect for him, or that was the turning point in the relationship? Moeka Hoshi: For me, personally, as an actor, I loved this scene in episode 10 when Fuji tells Blackthorne, “I'm going to nun.” There are a couple things that were wonderful about that scene. The first is that, by that time, Blackthorne is using Japanese phrases, so he’d started to bridge the gap.
Hoshi Reflects On How Shōgun Affected Her View On Modern-Day Japan The U.S. is not an old country, but when I watch something that takes place in its past, I think a little differently about the present. Did spending all this time in 1600s Japan for Shōgun affect your perspective on where you live?
