    Hiroyuki Sanada's movies and TV shows (20)

    Actor Hiroyuki Sanada MBE was born in Japan on October 12, 1960. He was the protégé of actor Sonny Chiba and started his career at the age of five in the 1960s. A Kyokushin Karate black belt, he first became well-known for his parts in action movies from Japan and Hong Kong before making a name for himself as a committed actor.

    International audiences are most familiar with him from his performances as Ryuji Takayama in Ring (1998). He gained theatrical recognition for his portrayal of the Fool in a 1999–2000 production of King Lear by Shakespeare, which resulted in his 2002 designation as an Honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire. With parts like Seibei Iguchi in The Twilight Samurai (2002), Ujio in The Last Samurai (2003), and Kenji in Rush Hour 3 (2007), Sanada expanded his Hollywood profile early in the 2000s.
