      It's basically using the honorific form of Japanese which highlights no making assumptions about another's intent and it ultimately defines what your station in the social heiarchy is and keeping those in their place. Servants will speak a different form of Japanese to their lords than the lords will speak to their servants and what not. Whomever is below you, you speak one way... whomever is above you, you speak another and whomever is equal yet another. Yeah?

      It's impressive how you could analyze her so deeply from just a short conversation where they don't even talk about much. A lot of people are complementing her appearance and not much else because there isn't even enough time to gauge her personality. Also, she's there to promote the show, not to give a formal interview about her background. It's a promotional appearance more than an interview.

    The most incredible show I’ve ever watched possibly. The attention to detail for Japanese culture with strong characters all around and an unpredictability that left me speechless. Wow! I hope this wins all the emmys because the effort that went to this needs to be rewarded somehow

    I’m SO grateful for this show, which features Japanese actors so prominently!!! Too often, Hollywood blends all “Asians” together (e.g. Memoirs of a Geisha). I love our culture and am happy to finally see a Japanese actress making headlines!! ❤❤❤

      It is a somewhat odd thing. But it's not too surprising sadly since American audiences really cannot differentiate between the various Asian ethnicities. The average American can't tell the difference between Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, or any others I can't think of. Add to that the fact that almost no one in America (statistically) speaks Japanese and it's hardly a surprise that Hollywood plays so fast and loose with casting.

      To be fair, it's not just in America. I've seen shows in Japan, especially WWII period pieces where there's an American general or G.I. speaking English to make it authentic for the Japanese audience but the actors they use are often European or English. As long as they're white and can speak the lines, they don't care.

      King Rat was made into a movie in the mid 60s, with George Segal and a bevy of your usual very good Brit actors, whose names escape me now. I thought it was a good flick at the time. Don’t know how well it holds up.

    This is a powerful personality that wins and spears through those around them with sheer presence and charm off screen, efffortlessly draws your eyes to them in roles on screen and is instantly recognisable and emulatable.

Well I was wrong she absolutely stunning and my crush is back❤.
