Sato Koichi is starring in the movie "Jinrui Shikin" (Human Capital) which is due to be shown in cinemas from October this year. The movie is based on the theme of finding the rumoured money (nicknamed M Shikin) left behind the old Japanese army after the WWII. Sato plays a fraudster Mafune who gets hired by a mysterious man named M played by SMAP's Katori Shingo to find the money. M's trusted confidante Seki will be played by Moriyama Mirai. Other co-stars include Mizuki Arisa who plays Takato, a woman who belongs to the secret organisation within the Ministry of Defence, and Nakadai Tatsuya who plays Sasakura, the chairman of many investment consulting companies. Mizuki is the only actress in the cast.
Filming was done in Japan, Russia's Khabarovsk, Thailand's Kanchanaburi and New York. The cast and crew who went straight from Russia to Thailand to work had to endure a change in temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. As such, the director deliberately chose actors who had worked with him in the past as comrades who could understand his reasons for making such a movie. For example, Sato had worked with the director for 10 times in the past including full-length dramas and drama SPs.
