Pepsi reinvents the popular Japanese folktale of Momotaro ( Peach Boy ) in this series of commercials, featuring a host of fantastic costume designs, CG and cinematography, including some beautiful vista shots of Momotaro crossing blades with Miyamoto Musashi ( yes, that’s right ) on a desert plateau. Watch the 3 episodes below :

The actor playing Momotaro is Shun Oguri, who also recently starred as Lupin in the live-action remake of the popular anime Arsène Lupin III. Beautiful Japanese/Brazilian actress Kuroki Meisa also appears in the film as Fujiko Mine.
