The ravishingly beautiful Satomi Oka is my personal favorite of the Toel stable of classic jidai-geki actresses. With her round-cheeked face and big, expressive eyes, she was most frequently cast in sweet and demure roles, but she was at her best when allowed to be fiery and spirited, as in Duel of Blood and Sand and Forbidden Castle.
