The big winner at the 27th Japan Academy awards was the Takita Yojiro samurai movie “Mibugishiden.” Takita (48) won Best Director, star Nakai Kiichi (42) took the Best Actor award and the best supporting actor went to Sato Koichi (43). Terashima Shinobu (31) won her eighth domestic movie award, taking Best Actress for her role in “Akame Shijuyataki Shinjumisui.” Among the six Newcomer Awards – geared mainly to marketing young stars of the future – were the ubiquitous Ueto Aya (photo, 18) and Odagiri Jo (28), who co-starred in “Azumi.” The awards were held yesterday at the Shin Takanawa Hotel in Tokyo.
