Sad news, one of Japan’s greatest actors, Takakura Ken, passed away Nov 10 at the age of 83 from lymphoma. It was announced yesterday and I didn’t have time to post here.

Probably best known to the West for his role in Ridley Scott’s Black Rain opposite Michael Douglas.

My favorite is Sydney Pollack’s The Yakuza with Robert Mitchum. Brief writeup of his career
