The official YouTube channel for the live-action Rurouni Kenshin film began streaming the "'Kenshin' ni Nikutai ga Yadotta Hi ~Eiga Kantoku Ōtomo Keishi no Sekai~" (The Day "Kenshin" Was Given a Body: The World of Film Director Keishi Ōtomo) video on Tuesday. The video profiles Ōtomo's work through behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew.

Not only did Ōtomo direct Takeru Satoh (Kamen Rider Den-O, Rookies, Beck) in the film's titular role, but the two also worked together in another live-action historical period piece, Ryōmaden .
