In the second season of
HBO's television adaptation of
Michael Crichton's Westworld movie from 1973, we learn that there are far more than just
Western-themed amusement parks for the super-rich to enjoy, there was
The Raj and
Shogun World. In search of her daughter, sentient
Host 'Maeve Millay' (played by
Thandie Newton) ventures into this
Edo period feudal
Japanese-inspired world and discovers that the story narratives and characters are uncannily similar with her own
Wild West habitat. There she meets her doppelgänger the geisha
'Akane' (Rinko Kikuchi) and one of her dancers,
'Sakura' (Kiki Sukezane), threatened by a powerful and deranged
Shogun.
