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!!
Mr Sanada has everything! I have watched and will continue to watch this brilliant actor whenever he appears. Respect! Whenever an actor of lesser skill shares his screen he actually seems to improve their work as they see and learn from a true master. Without apparently doing anything, every eye is drawn to him. He truly is a living treasure.
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.
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.
He was in almost every single frame, a real treat for his legion of fans. Actors might have the looks and the acting skills to carry the dramas, but no actors can do yabusame. I watched the 49 episodes about two years ago; I am rewatching "Taiheiki" now, two episodes a day.
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. 🙂
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!
Hiroyukiri Sanada prime is the best in the 80s. High flying HK cinema did him a solid action actor in 1982 " Ninja in the Dragon's Den" plus costar with Michelle Yeoh as her international foreign police partner in "Royal Warrior" 1986. His early Japanese film with Sonny Chiba in "Samurai Reincarnation" is a bit lacking cause he played a young supporting actor role as a revengful pupil even though the movie plot was good which inspire to create an animation called Ninja Scroll. I didn't know that he played the brutally murderous husband in the movie "Ring/Ringu" 90s film. I remembered watching the horror movie and didn't realize it was him cause of the beard he had on. 😅 This movie is horrifying. Girls and friends were freaking out during the movie night. 🤣 Ringu makes Michael Myers, Jason and Freddy looks like a child on a Halloween night trick or treating.
I had heard when they made the original Shogun in 1980, Toshiro Mifune was really committed to the role of Lord Toranaga. I heard Hiroyuki here was similarly committed and now I understand why. And I can't shake this feeling that if Chozen Togychi got a spin-off from Cobra Kai (which I personally would make a feature film, not a series) this gentleman should play his arch enemy.
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….
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?
He's a great actor. Love to watch him. He also gets more handsome with age. Stay safe.

Living legend.

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
Don't believe this nonsense. He makes much more without a doubt.
He received 10 million dolllers from Shogun, 1 million per episode.
Twilight Samurai is my all time favorite ❤️ ❤❤
私もそう思います✨✨
名作です✨

よくご存知ですね✨✨
ほんとうに素晴らしい時代劇です✨✨✨未だに語り継がれております✨✨

@@88Leehom様、
日本の時代劇に感心を持って頂いてとても嬉しく思います✨日本には、ほんとうに沢山の素晴らしい時代劇があります✨✨私が一番好きなものは、実際に起きた事を描いたとても神聖な物語りである「47士」の物語りです…自分達の君主が大勢の前で辱しめを受け、決して出しては行けない刃を向けてしまい、切腹を命じられ、お城🏯は明け渡し藩はお取り潰しとなり…しかしその部下達がリーダーである大石内蔵助と共に、自分達の人生、そして命をかけて、君主の無念を晴らし無事本懐を遂げるまでの、本当の意味でのヒューマンドラマです🙏❇️❇️正義とは何か？優しさとは？思いやりとは？そしてそこに至るまでの様々な人間模様を描いたとても素晴らしい物語りです✨✨
本懐を遂げ、その後、関わった全員が切腹を命じられ…そのお墓には、今でも沢山の人が手を合わせております…私は今でもこの物語りを見る度、涙してしまいます💧💧
リーダーである大石内蔵助の辞世の句を紹介させて頂きます「あら楽や、思いは晴るる、身は捨つる、浮き世の月にかかる雲無し
」やっと自分の思いは果たせた、この身は無くなるけれど、今、この時に心には一点の曇りも無し」という様な意味です…沢山の名優が演じておりますが、私が一番感銘を受けた物は、「里見浩太朗」氏の演じた物です✨✨
凛とした美しさの中に侍としての強い魂を見事に演じております✨✨
宜しければ、是非一度見て頂きたいです🙏❇️❇️

是非一度「里見浩太朗」氏の演じた「忠臣蔵」を見る事をお薦め致します🙏❇️❇️
Thank you for the great video on the journey of HIro Sanada! We're so proud of him in Japan
Thank you for this video!
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. 🙂
he was amazing in Westworld
and TWILIGHT SAMURAI! He is a highly trained actor and I have enjoyed his work!
Great uplifting reading quietly feeling the stirrings of positivity amid challenges so remaining hopeful 🙏
one of the best actors :)
Some films I watch only because of Sanada san.
Sanada-san is my " Denzel"
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.

Best summary ever, seems like I know him now haha

"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?
❤
Can you please do how Liam Hemsworth lives??
I lived in Kage no Gundan and Yagyu Jubei ,
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….
Counting downs in 15 days and how’s to over 30 years earning deaths pesos 😂😂😂😮😮😮😢😢
He’s no Toshiro Mifune.
I like both actors equally.
Of course not. He is Sanada, the SANADA, an actor I admire since his Japan days.
And Brad Pit is no Cary Grant. What's the point?
He sucks. Sorry but the original Toronaga just hard to follow. Readinghe just radiated power and wisdom. This guy is play acting and it shows
BFFR

@MrR1D3R Nobody else thinks that.
