Model and actress Ai Tominaga became the first woman to play the role of Takeda Shingen in the Shingen-ko Festival, in Kofu on Saturday.
Tominaga led a parade of more than 1,000 “warriors” to commemorate the famous warlord.
The festival’s main event was a reenactment of a confrontation that took place at Kawanakajima, featuring armor-clad fighters.
Wearing yoroi Japanese armor and a red battle coat, Tominaga shouted, “Let’s go into battle!”
Tominaga later rode her horse down the main street in front of Kofu Station.
