Lady Mariko (Shogun)

TV or Movie: Shogun

Actor: Anna Sawai

Time of Death: Shogun, Episode 9, “Crimson Sky”

Cause of Death: Caught in an explosion- Mariko deliberately stepped in front of the door that forces were about to blow up. She did so to shield the others in the room.

I remember being completely shocked by the sudden and unexpected death of one of the main characters of the new version of Shogun. She was one of the top characters and I did not see it coming. It was one of those blows to the gut you get every once in a while watching TV.
