The KL Samurai | Official Statement
It's official. I've been holding this role for months after meetings and negotiations to tell the world. Riz Ainuddin is officially the 'The KL Samurai'.Quote from the press statement taken from the website. The KL Samurai.
Based on his talent and determination, Riz Ainuddin shall represent a new version of a Malaysian hero. "Riz has the basic charisma, look and personality that can be further enhanced so he would be able to deliver the arrogant, manipulative and mystical character of the 'KL Samurai' in the film successfully" states the Project Director.
Riz is currently undergoing a special samurai 'kenjitsu' and 'mutojutsu' training under the guidance of Master Haja Mohaideen of Akademi Wajadiri Malaysia (AWM) as part of preparation for fight scenes and duel in the film.
Riz will be playing the lead role of Johan Ahmad Takada, a Malay-Japanese CEO who hates his Japanese blood but at the same time being haunted and possessed by the samurai spirit of the past.
Versi Bahas pulak. :)
Berdasarkan bakat dan kesungguhanya, Riz Ainuddin akan mewakili versi baru hero Malaysia. "Riz mempunyai karisma, rupa dan personaliti asas yang melayakan beliau untuk mempertingkatkan agar beliau dapat membawa watak jejajak 'KL Samurai' yang angkuh, manupulatif dan mistikal dalam filem tersebut dengan jayanya" kata Pengarah Projek.
Riz kini sedang menjalani latihan khas samurai 'kenjitsu' dan 'mutojutsu' dibawah pimpinan Master Haja Mohaideen dari Akedemi Wajadiri Malaysia (AWM) sebagai sebahagian daripada persediaan untuk babak aksi dan lawan tanding dalam filem berkenaan.
Riz akan memegang watak utama sebagai Johan Ahmad Takada, seorang Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif berketurunan melayu-jepun yang membenci darah keturunan Jepunnya tetapi dalam masa yang sama dihantui dan dirasuk oleh roh samurai zaman silam.
I'm gonna working with the best people in the industry to date. I have so much to research and learn till the targeted shooting date. Am I nervous? Nope. I'm more nervous looking forward for the film to be screened. :)

fuhh cayalah bro! Academy Award will be next!
Congrats bro! Great job. Happy for you! :-)
Hi Riz,
congrats on your role. You look the part already! Idea: how about checking out aikido - a Japanese martial arts that focuses a lot on inner harmony? Perhaps it can give you insights on your character's inner struggle and the most harmonious way to achieve balance. I'm no artist, and this might be teaching a duck how to swim, but I practice aikido at the dojo in Kota Damansara and it's awesome. Lots of stuff on the Net and youre welcome to visit us @ Gaia Center in KD anytime.
All the best to you!
Cheers,
Faz
thanks guys. KF, thanks for the tip, as it is, aikido and motojutsu is already part of my training. at first action was difficult, as training goes week by week action becomes easy and understanding becomes a challenge. will keep you dojo in mind. ;)
Good on you, Riz - all the best!
