She trains and does martial arts and stuff, so she’s strong psychologically but physically too.ĭid you have to do a lot of training, yourself? The relationship between her and her father is going to be the biggest secret the movie, so I can’t tell you much. Mariko’s very submissive in the comic, is your Mariko different? Logan is immortal and she is not a regular girl, so that made her feel like maybe they could understand each other. They have this empathy between them, as neither of them have a normal life. I felt rejected by other kids at school and that’s why I liked Mariko, that’s something I brought into her. So I think she’s very strong, but insecure with herself, maybe something I could share. She’s from the richest family in Japan, so I think she always had an usual childhood and she couldn’t have normal relationships with other children, other kids. Okamoto spoke exclusively to SciFiNow about fight training, changing the comics, and reprising the role… Making her film debut with The Wolverine, model-turned-thespian Tao Okamoto is stepping right into the heart of comic-book lore as logan’s long-time love interest Mariko Yashida – torn between the influence of her domineering father Shingen (Hiroyuki Sanada), and the surly gaijin with the blades in his fists.
