The film's acclaimed cast features Japanese actor Ken Watanabe as Saito, "a rich and powerful business magnate," aka "The Tourist." Here's director Christopher Nolan's description of the character:
Ken Watanabe portrays the role of Saito, a rich and powerful business magnate, who offers Cobb a very special job with a promise of payment more valuable than money. Simply put, if Cobb can give Saito what he wants, Saito will get Cobb home. There is only one condition: Saito wants to accompany Cobb's team on the job to be sure he gets what he's paying for."
"We refer to him as 'the tourist' because he has no expertise, but uses his financial influence to join the group."
"At first, it's only a business relationship, but as the story continues, Saito and Cobb develop an understanding and a respect. They need each other."
