Which Shogun Character Are You?

Learn More About Shogun

Shogun adapts James Clavell's novel into a sweeping account of feudal Japan on the brink of civil war, following an English sailor stranded in a world governed by honor, politics, and impossibly high stakes. Starring Hiroyuki Sanada as the calculating Lord Toranaga and Cosmo Jarvis as the outsider Blackthorne, the FX series became one of the most decorated shows in television history, sweeping the Emmys in 2024.

Anna Sawai's performance as the devout, tightly controlled Lady Mariko became a particular standout, earning her an Emmy for Lead Actress. The show's meticulous production and willingness to let silence and subtext carry entire scenes set a new bar for historical drama on television.
