Character discussion:Sakurai and Kinsaburo

Post by edgaguirus »

Here are the two main characters of KK vs G; The brave Sakurai and the human monster detector Kinsaburo. There's not much I can say about Sakurai except that Tadao Takashima does a fine job with his performance. Kinsaburo does well as the comic side kick, even if the lizard scene is a little silly. Still, his corns are reliable.
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him.

For some reason I always remember these guys' first interaction with the natives on Kong's island, offering their radio and handing everyone smokes.

I don't know. They're kind of nothing characters, but they're so charming that they seem a lot more distinct to me than some of the other leading males in the '60s films.
