Shogun, which depicts samurai warlords’ struggle for supremacy, was created by a studio under the wing of U.S. entertainment giant Walt Disney Co., based on the same-name novel by British writer James Clavell.

In September last year, Shogun won a record-breaking 18 Emmy Awards, known as the top U.S. TV honors, including one for outstanding drama series.
