As Yukiko TODOROKI who had played the role 'Otsu' in the previous "Miyamoto Musashi" had married Masahiro MAKINO (an elder brother of Shinzo MAKINO), her marriage made a sensation and people said 'two Otsu married into the Makino family.'
『宮本武蔵』の前作で「お通」を演じた轟夕起子が兄の正博と結婚した前例があり、「お通がふたりマキノ家に嫁いだ」と当時騒がれた。
