During a stormy night at the end of the Edo period, samurai Kosaka Shinzaemon prepares to fight a deadly duel. In a sudden flash of lightning, he is struck and transported through time to present-day Japan—landing not in battle, but in the middle of a jidaigeki film set.

Still in his samurai garb and speaking in an archaic dialect, Kosaka is mistaken for an extra and thrust into the surreal world of TV and film production. He soon finds work as a kirareyaku—a performer whose role is to die dramatically on screen—and starts building a life in this strange new world. But while he navigates his role in modern media, echoes from his past still loom.

This heartfelt and comedic time-slip drama is a tribute to Japan’s rich cinematic history, made even more touching as it honours legendary kirareyaku Seizo Fukumoto. A Samurai in Time is a breakout indie phenomenon, shot by director Junichi Yasuda with a small team and a passion for storytelling. From humble beginnings, it became a major box office success in Japan and earned a Best Picture win at the Japanese Academy Awards.
