The real-life counterpart to Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe) is Takamori Saigo, who led a samurai rebellion in 1877. As in the movie, Saigo ended up committing suicide in September 1877 after defeat in battle. The Emperor's attitude in this movie toward Katsumoto's struggle and death reflects actual Japanese popular sentiment toward Saigo, who though defeated, was regarded as a hero. A statue of Saigo was erected shortly after his death, and can be seen today in Ueno, in northeast Tokyo.
