Hiroyuki Sanada has been a superstar in Japan for many years as an actor not only in action, but also in singing, dancing, and serious dramas, but only recently, after a long period of struggle, he has finally become an actor that is recognized around the world. I'm super happy now. Thank you for introducing his career on your channel!

Hiroyuki steals every scene he is in, in every movie he is in. He is one of the best actors of our time and it sucks he’s lost in the crap we call actors in Hollywood. Brilliant man!!!

I absolutely agree with you that as soon as Hiroyuki appears in the scene, all eyes are on him and you just know that THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD!!! The camera loves him!!! In all his interviews he is sooo humble and almost embarrassed by all the accolades being heaped on him, but that he so deserves!!! It's fun to see him as a quiet and reserved individual in these interviews, but then he turns on his acting switch and it's a total Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde persona! He's my favorite actor!!

They forget the drama that is regarded as one of the best Japanese period dramas of all time. It is Taiheiki, starring Hiroyuki Sanada as the real-life Ashikaga Takauji, who became Shogun in the 1350s. You will be overwhelmed by his masterful performance and the sheer fun of the drama.

Wonderful rundown of his films. In addition, he’s a fantastic musician! And it was really him playing the jazz trumpet in the film ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT.

Living legend.

Thank you for creating this video! I admire how hard Mr. Sanada hard work effort he puts into each of his characters. I absolutely Loved Shogun! Brilliant work, and a brillant actor.

He's a great actor. Love to watch him. He also gets more handsome with age. Stay safe.

In Wick 3 they didnt prefer Mark. Role was written for Sanada but few days befor start of filming, he was injured, so they had to find replacement very fast. But Mark was great as well. Great was that after this, they wrote another role in Wick 4 just for Hiroyuki. True friendship. 🙂

a real samurai 🇯🇵

Why does he earn only $1mil a yr....thats crazy he's been acting over 30yrs....he should've been getting 1mil per episode of shogun

He received 10 million dolllers from Shogun, 1 million per episode.

Great research, enjoyed learning more about this man!

Twilight Samurai is my all time favorite ❤️ ❤❤

I loved him with the late great SONNY CHIBA. Before it's too late someone anyone please give this man his own martial arts movie! I know he did some way back in the day, but I'm talking now today. We've seen Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, and Tony Jaa but we haven't seen Hiroyuki Sanada?! Also, I'm not talking about a movie that features him, I'm talking about a movie that he STARS IN! I'm also talking about a movie where his HAND TO HAND SKILLS are on full display. We've seen him with a sword plenty of times, I'd love to see his HAND TO HAND SKILLS showcased because HE DOES HAVE THEM!

Best summary ever, seems like I know him now haha

❤

Can you please do how Liam Hemsworth lives??

"If something on the screen looks unrealistic then you can't focus on the plot." I mean...those contact lenses. Who's idea was it???

What contact lenses?

As an old-time martial artist to me, there is no greater movie than the last samurai….everything he did beyond that makes me sad…..honor has been lost….

He’s no Toshiro Mifune.

Of course not. He is Sanada, the SANADA, an actor I admire since his Japan days.

it's funny and tragic how he's not really big over here in Japan. It sort of makes me dislike the country a little bit.

LOL Dude, you have some issues. He is an actor. You think Tom Cruise, Michael Douglas, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr. Harrison Ford et al. earned an Oscar every time they play a role? Don't you know that even if you're a great actor, your chances of landing an Oscar winning role, from an award winning SCRIPT, with a performance that goes with it.... are VERY LOW?
