"I created Naoe how I would create a movie character," says Assassin's Creed Shadows star Masumi: "Just very full and honest and a whole human being as much as I can"

Character is at the heart of Assassin's Creed Shadows. Whether that's choosing who to play as between Yasuke and Naoe in order to make use of their unique skills to conquer a castle, or experiencing their own journeys through the violent Sengoku period and learning what makes them tick. Naoe, as an assassin and a stealth Igan shinobi, is a standout hero from the recent games in the series. We got the chance to talk to Masumi (Yakuza Princess, NCIS: Hawai'i), who portrayed Naoe – bringing her to life through motion capture and voice acting – about the process of joining the Assassins.
