Love it. Actors putting their own stakes behind the productions they want to get made. I don't think I've ever seen Hiroyuki Sanada in anything I've disliked and if he's going out of his way to make sure that not only good shows are casting him but even getting greenlit in the first place, then he deserves his success all the more.

My dad was there and China after WWII and was surprised then and my cousin lived there in the 2000's when he played on their professional baseball teams.

Just wanted to say my deep appreciation to Stephen Colbert for correctly pronouncing all these Japanese names and terms. It's not easy to pronounce and he nailed it, great interviewer.
He geeked out hard for Dune interviews. But I like how he respects and researches background details before going in. Rather than asking stupid ass questions like the Jimmies do.
Colbert speaks the Elvish language invented by Tolkien for the Lord of the Rings universe. The vowels are similar to Japanese ones, which may be why he handled the terms so well.
He was my favourite secondary character among all the John Wick movies. I hated that his role had to end. John Wick hasn't done flashbacks to his assassin's life, so I'm hoping the next film could show John's and Koji's teamwork from the past. But then Hiroyuki is 63 years old and pretty involved with Shogun.
The great majority of television is childish crap. Shogun was impeccable, intelligent, dignified, and powerful, and the rare experience of rewarding commercial television. And this man had a lot to do with that fact.
Having enjoyed the original Shogun series back in the 80s as a kid, I was happily surprised to find that for once a remake is better than the original.
Shit yeah that was a great movie. "Will you tell me how he died?" "I will tell you how he LIVED." That line puts a chill down my spine to this very day. In a good way. Makes me think of my own Grandpa.
Japanese society is so beyond ours in politeness, cleanliness, respectful behavior, organization. This man is very powerful in his elegant communication in a foreign language. Very impressive.
Me tuuuuu!! I grew up in Japan, he was like Brad Pitt of Japanese 90’s. I remember when he announced his marriage, all the aunties cried😂 was a huge deal. It’s awesome to see ppl I grew up with being celebrated in the US🧡

@@2yoyoyo1Unpluggedexcuse to be stranger to you but i would say keep swimming in it, once you hit some point you'll be able to see the result of what you've made Cheers for your solid efforts!
But Hiro regrets leaving the UK and Royal Shakespeare Company in London, alongside Sir Kenneth Branagh and Sir Nigel Hawthorne in the RSC's production of King Lear... They wanted him to stay in England in the Theatre!... Sanada acted in Theatres, he hates commercial films etc... Besides that, he is an extraordinary classical dancer and singer!... He is so underrated in the USA!
Americans are enchanted by the self-discipline and empathy Japanese culture imbues in its citizens. That reserve and thoughtfulness is captivating, and something we might emulate individually. Notice the physical distance and grace of Sanada-san and Stephen in their respectful first greeting: no pretense! Simple, profound respect.
The Twilight Samurai is one of my favourite movies. I’ve seen it so many times I don’t need the subtitles to understand the dialogue anymore. It’s about time Sanada got the respect he deserves internationally and from the establishment.
god BLESS this man!, Mr. Hiroyuki Sanada! I remember him from so many other actor jobs he's had over the decades, ALL in which he was 100% brilliant! & it's so overdue that he gets recognized for his thespian genius!! wtg, sir!! & looking forward to more, we LOVE YOU!!🙋🏾♀🙋🏿♀📿
He was super popular from the first day he came out of the movie in Japan. He was one of a kind action star who knows how to use Katana. I'm so proud and super happy for him!
Hiroyuki Sanada is such a genuine person and proved to be such an amazing actor AND director... you can see how, like many Japanese people, he is willing to share Japan's culture and history to other people abroad, in the true and respectful way that Japanese people always use. It's definitely a surprise to hear him saying we can expect new seasons... great news indeed :) After years of woke series and movies filling our TV screens, Shogun was so refreshing and enjoyable!
Last year I bicycled japan during autumn 🍁🍂. From Kyoto to Tokyo I passed thru Sekigahara. After returning home & watching _Shogun_ I wanted to kick myself for not knowing that I had passed the battlefield where Tokugawa won his pivotal war.
His character was based upon the very real Tokugawa leyasu who was founder of the first unified shogun that had the real power of Japan from 1603 until 1868 and the Meiji Restoration brought the power back to the Emperor. Hiroyuki Sanada played him brilliantly. Tokugawa was a brilliant politician and tactician that was thinking 3 steps ahead of his enemies.
Yes, and asking a Japanese person if you grew up knowing about him is kinda like asking a child who grew up in the west if he knew about Julius Caesar.
This guy for a very a long time was dubbed as the Japanese Jackie Chan. Hiroyuki Sanada did many action movies in the 80’s doing all his own stunts and fight scenes without the need for any special effects wires, or stunt doubles. He’s practically a ninja in real life.
Ieyasu might be Hiroyuki Sanada's hero since childhood, but Sanada was and still is my personal hero! So glad to see him breaking through the Western barrier and spreading his talent there.
I read Shogun when the book came out. By the time I finished it, I had caught the flu and ran a very high fever, which seemed to cause me to hallucinate because in the middle of the night, I found myself in the middle of the living-room arguing with Lord Toranaga I never forgot the name. LOL Still one of my favorite books to this day.
@@bigdreams5554 I drive a Mazda also but I got mine back in the zoom zoom era. He made it ok for me to own a Mazda though😅 he was fantastic in John wick
Since I was a child, I have seen him not only perform actions like Jackie Chan, but also sing, dance, and play even the role of the main character in a love story. I'm so happy from deep my heart that he got nominated Emmy finally as not only an actor but also a director.🎉
Shogun was/is BRILLIANT . I watched the series in the 70s, again this year, re-read the book, and will watch the new series again. I greatly admire all of the cast, especially Hiroyuki Sanada for his magnificent acting and producing. So much creativity went into this production, be sure to watch the "behind the scenes" episodes on CZcams.
I become a fan after watching J-drama "A story of Love" with English subtitles on our local channel in 1997. Over the years, Mr. Sanada is getting better and better.
Having worked with these people very closely for many years in an extreme business setting and knowing them personally these are the most polite and intelligent people on the planet, their thoughtfulness, and level of respect for each other and for others who are not amongst their race is admirable
I’m really proud of him as a Japanese. I think he had a lot of hard experiences like differences of the language, environment and culture and so on for long time. But finally his effort made success in the world. He makes Japanese including me so cheerful🎉
Dang… how can I wait for something like two years? I have been watching Shogun. Fifth time now, and every time I find hidden cues about the story progression and how atmospheric soundtrack matches from scene to scene.
I remember first time watching Mr. Sanada san... Last Samurai as Ujio.. such a great actor.. he was perfect for that role. One of the absolute greatest!
@2:48 Well, as Bong Joon Ho once said in his acceptance speech at the Oscars: "Once you overcome the 1-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films." In other words, I'm just glad that many westerners (i.e. Americans) have learned to get over the laziness of reading text while watching not just films but TV series as well.
Tokugawa Ieyasu is about as critical to Japanese history as George Washington is to American history. The Tokugawa Shogunate saw the end of the Warring States period, which was roughly two centuries of nearly continuous civil war, and brought about the Edo period, which was roughly two centuries of peace. So yeah, for anyone curious, Ieyasu is a name essentially every Japanese person should know, and even better, his portrayals in popular media range from grounded and historical to bonkers video game superhero legend status, which is something I'd like to see more of with American history (Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter was a step in the right direction).
A Game of Thrones style series could be made detailing the turmoil, intrigues, betrayals, battles, and personalities of the Sengoku Period especially surrounding, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and of course Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Watching Sanada San act is such a joy, I don't know what it is, he is simply brilliant. Shogun was just perfection, I have enjoyed it tremendously, can't wait for season 2.
I love love love Sanada. Shogun is a masterpiece and I declared from episode 1 that they deserve to win every award there is. Impeccable work Shogun was. I've rewatched the entire season 3 times already.
Sanada is an acting treasure, he has been for a very long time, and It's about time that he gets a bit more public recognition. Shogun was amazing and his acting was impeccable.
Worth noting that Sanada not only put in an excellent performance as Torunaga, he also did double duty as a producer as well. A hard working actor to say the least.
For anybody that doesn't know this guy is soon to be one of the Living Legends of the modern Japanese television era.
Right up there with Takeshi Kitano!
@@bsmeaker I was always a huge fan of his, but noticed that his sword technique was really good once I started training in Iaido. That's when I found out that he's the real deal. When he showed up in West World, I practically leapt out of my chair.

Since I was a child, I have seen him not only perform actions like Jackie Chan, but also sing, dance, and play even the role of the main character in a love story. I'm so happy from deep my heart that he got nominated Emmy finally as not only an actor but also a director.🎉
真田さん!!😮🎉🎉🎉凄い…。かっこいい!!
Shogun was/is BRILLIANT . I watched the series in the 70s, again this year, re-read the book, and will watch the new series again. I greatly admire all of the cast, especially Hiroyuki Sanada for his magnificent acting and producing. So much creativity went into this production, be sure to watch the "behind the scenes" episodes on CZcams.
It’s been a long journey for Sanada.
He finally achieved what he was aiming in USA.
He will go far and beyond ❤
Congratulations!!
真田さんはデビュー当時から今もずっと正統派ハンサムな俳優さん♪ そして､常に努力を惜しまず歩み続けてきた人なのだと思います。
I've been a fan of Sanada ever since I saw him as Ujiro in the Last Samurai. So glad people are recognizing this class act
The production quality of Shōgun is simply top notch, I have no doubt the second season will be just as detailed and fascinating.
He’s been consistently terrific for years now. I first saw him in Danny Boyle’s Sunshine. A small part but he was fantastic.
One of my favorite movies!
真田さんカッコいい〜‼️
What an absolute icon Sanada is.
He's such a great actor and proud. Can't help but love him. Stay safe. 1:23 pm
I become a fan after watching J-drama "A story of Love" with English subtitles on our local channel in 1997. Over the years, Mr. Sanada is getting better and better.
This guy is the best part of every scene he's in, no matter the project; last samurai, the wolverine, endgame, and shogun off the top of my head.
My favorite Japanese actor. He is amazing.
この番組に日本の俳優が出るなんて‥凄い。
もっと取り上げてくれ！司会者も気を遣ってくれていてありがとう
I grew up overseas and can confirm Tokugawa Ieyasu is one of the few I know, so very famous.
Loved him on Lost also. Great actor, surprising how much he's been in over such a long time.
Having worked with these people very closely for many years in an extreme business setting and knowing them personally these are the most polite and intelligent people on the planet, their thoughtfulness, and level of respect for each other and for others who are not amongst their race is admirable
He's so humble and charming, loved him in 47 Ronin and John Wick 4, can't wait to start watching Shogun ❤
He’s such a cool guy, I’ve seen him in MANY shows and he’s just great 😊😊😊
Amazing actor !!! Deserves the award!!!
I’m really proud of him as a Japanese.
I think he had a lot of hard experiences like differences of the language, environment and culture and so on for long time.
But finally his effort made success in the world.
He makes Japanese including me so cheerful🎉
Dang… how can I wait for something like two years?
I have been watching Shogun. Fifth time now, and every time I find hidden cues about the story progression and how atmospheric soundtrack matches from scene to scene.
I remember first time watching Mr. Sanada san... Last Samurai as Ujio.. such a great actor.. he was perfect for that role. One of the absolute greatest!
Sanada is a legend. He elevates any scene he's in.
@2:48 Well, as Bong Joon Ho once said in his acceptance speech at the Oscars: "Once you overcome the 1-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films." In other words, I'm just glad that many westerners (i.e. Americans) have learned to get over the laziness of reading text while watching not just films but TV series as well.
He's so humble; the show & his performance are incredible!
Tokugawa Ieyasu is about as critical to Japanese history as George Washington is to American history. The Tokugawa Shogunate saw the end of the Warring States period, which was roughly two centuries of nearly continuous civil war, and brought about the Edo period, which was roughly two centuries of peace. So yeah, for anyone curious, Ieyasu is a name essentially every Japanese person should know, and even better, his portrayals in popular media range from grounded and historical to bonkers video game superhero legend status, which is something I'd like to see more of with American history (Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter was a step in the right direction).
A Game of Thrones style series could be made detailing the turmoil, intrigues, betrayals, battles, and personalities of the Sengoku Period especially surrounding, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and of course Tokugawa Ieyasu.
A very brilliant and charismatic actor who simply shines in every role he plays. Sanada is an acting juggernaut.
Japanese culture is the best culture
Good comment!
Watching Sanada San act is such a joy, I don't know what it is, he is simply brilliant. Shogun was just perfection, I have enjoyed it tremendously, can't wait for season 2.
Twilight Samurai is his best movie, in my opinion. Truly exceptional.
Can't wait to see #2 season
Big fan of Mariko-san😢
Whew, love me some Hiroyuki Sanada! He is so captivating.
I love love love Sanada. Shogun is a masterpiece and I declared from episode 1 that they deserve to win every award there is. Impeccable work Shogun was. I've rewatched the entire season 3 times already.
He deserves all the recognition and more. So excited for him and all the awards Shōgun will win this season. 👏
Sanada is an acting treasure, he has been for a very long time, and It's about time that he gets a bit more public recognition.
Shogun was amazing and his acting was impeccable.
ロサンゼルスで彼のこの映画のポスターを見る度に日本人として誇りに思います😌🤎
