live-action Nintama Rantaro in July

The official website for Takashi Miike's live-action film adaptation of the long-running Nintama Rantaro ninja comedy anime series began streaming the full trailer. The film will open in Japan on July 23.
In Nintama Rantaro, Seishirō Katō plays the title role of a ninja apprentice at an elite ninjutsu academy in historical Japan. As first-graders, Rantarō and his ninja-in-training friends are called "Nintama" — a contraction of the words "ninja" and "tamago" ("egg"). The television anime adaptation based on Soubee Amako's Rakudai Ninja Rantarō ninja gag manga, which debuted in 1993. There was already an animated film made in 1996, and a new anime film will open in March, before the live-action film's summer opening.
