Takuya Kimura plays the main character, Susumu Kodai.
This past Summer, a display of original costumes and props from the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of the seminal SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO was held at the Sanrio Puroland in Tokyo's Tama New Town suburb. Then, during the Summer edition of the WonderFestival (or "Wonfes") garage kit and toy show at Makuhari Messe, two of the original miniatures used in the film were on display. The Cosmo Tiger, is a rethinking of the Black Tiger space fighters from the first SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO (1974), which manages to retain the basic design sense, while the enemy Gamilas Fighter, an arthropod-like design, is a vast departure from the original. The costumes for Takashi Yamazaki's upcoming SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO, opening in Japan on December 1st, were adapted by Anri Jojo (ALWAYS: SUNSET ON THIRD STREET), who helmed the production design for the film.

Abraços, até aproxima.
¡Muito Obrigado, Alê!
Thanks for posting this! Ironically I'll be landing at Narita on the 4th for a business trip (Yes, I plan to see the movie) but would have loved to see this display before it closes.
Dude, that looks great. I wish I was on a flight to Japan to see it!
Hey August, any idea where I can buy a Kodai replica jacket like the one they put on Takuya Kimura? I'm going to be in Taiwan and Japan later this summer but have no idea where to shop while I'm there, and of course, I'd prefer to just order it online without having to stumble around when I'm out there
