Sanada and Hiroko Yakushimaru were described as "the first Japanese movie stars in a long time to grow up in movies and be active in movies" [8]. Toei also formed a support group [9] and held many events to promote Sanada [9]. Variety magazine's September 1981 issue carried an article stating, "Hiroyuki Sanada has already been confirmed to star in a film for the New Year of 1982 (Burning Brave), and Toei is putting all its efforts into planning a strategy to promote this young actor. Sanada himself said, 'People all over the place tell me they have high expectations of me, so I feel like I have to do it...'..."[10]. Sanada's first starring role in 1980, Ninja Bugei Cho: Momochi Santaro, did not attract audiences[9], so Toei decided that a period drama with Sanada would not be a hit[9], and decided to cast him in a modern drama, just like his second starring role in the summer, Howl of the Iron Fist.[9] The films scheduled for this time slot, the first of the New Year of 1982, changed frequently. First, on March 23, 1981, at the Toei headquarters, Toei announced its major films from April 1981 to spring 1982, and this time slot was only announced as the second film starring Seiko Matsuda.[11] After that, Toei won the battle with Shochiku to acquire Hiroyuki Okita, and by the summer, they had announced a youth-oriented line-up with the two main stars of Seiko Matsuda and Okita, "Seiko and Hiro," to bring back young people who had lost interest in movies.[12] However, the August 13 and 20, 1981 issues of "Weekly Gendai" stated that "Seiko Matsuda has been abandoned by Toei."[13] Therefore, it was thought that the second film starring Seiko Matsuda had been canceled by the early summer, and it was changed to a double feature of Aku Yu's first full-length novel, "The Legend of the Family," starring Hiroyuki Okita and "The Moeru Yuusha."[14] Furthermore, in the latter half of the summer of 1981, Toei was awarded distribution for Sailor Suit and Machine Gun, and Okita's film was cancelled, and a double feature with Sailor Suit and Machine Gun and this film was officially announced.[15] Regardless of the success of this film, Toei announced in November 1981 that The Ninja (Dragon Ninja) would be released as a double feature with this film, Sanada's fourth film after Burning Brave, on April 17, 1982.[16] At the time, it was announced that The Ninja would be directed by Wu Siyuan.[16] All of Sanada's previous films had been family-style films with the Japan Action Club (JAC) framework of Chiba Shinichi, Shihomi Etsuko, and Sanada, but this was the first time that he had lost his backup in his fourth film.[8] Sanada said, "In that sense, I'm happy, but also scared to do it alone... I feel a great sense of responsibility."[8] "Anyway, for now, I just have to steadily perform roles that only I can do now. My goal is to be 30 years old."[8]. At the time of the release, a film magazine described it as "A body as strong as steel, supple movements like a leopard, and a sweet and refreshing face. Since the release of "Ninja Bugei Cho: Momochi Santaro" in 1980, Hiroyuki Sanada has enjoyed a huge popularity explosion. In the summer of 1981, Hiroyuki Sanada, who further expanded his support among the younger generation with "Roaring Tekken," will team up with Hiroshi Katsuno to take on a New Year's film. This time, in addition to super action techniques, we are particularly pursuing drama and aiming for a full-fledged youth film."[17]. Sanada said, "The subject matter of 'Roaring Tekken' was a bit dark. But if we let that drag on, the whole movie would have been gloomy, so during the filming period, I tried to make it cheerful and bright, both on set and in my private life. Although, I may have played around a bit too much (laughs). There are no love scenes in 'Burning Hero'. But it's not a man's story either. That's where it's a bit half-baked. I think it would have been okay to delve deeper into the relationship between men and women."[8] Toei had voluntary restrictions out of consideration for young Hiroyuki fans,[8] and Sanada acknowledged this, saying, "It seems like that happens quite a bit. Parts like that that were in the draft were cut out in the final draft... I guess it depends on the producer's thoughts and all that (laughs)."[8]star_border
