He was already mega famous before the show, as part of a manzai act, a comedian and an actor. He even acted along side David Bowie and was somewhat known internationally. His directorial debut and writing didn’t come until a few years after the show though, still in the 80s.
He also designed the Famicom game “Takeshi’s Challenge”, which is probably the biggest trolling-attempt ever stuffed into a cartridge.
If Oda ever introduces another admiral, he really should base him on Kitano.
Beat
Outrage trilogy and Brother.
Beat Takeshi was the absolute man
I love kids return and his zatoichi adaptation.
Big fan of both Kurosawa and Kitano. But Kitano is no Kurosawa. He’s more like a George Clooney type. Great actor and punches above his weight as a director but you can’t compare him to one of the top directors of all time.
How are you going to post about Beat Takeshi and not mention him by name?
Fireworks…
My favourite movie of his is 2000’s Brother, a Yakuza type movie.
I wouldn’t say he’s Akira Kurosawa’s successor, like not even remotely lol
“Right you are Ken”
Wait til you hear about this Ukrainian comedian!
Takeshi is an entertainment icon.
Outrage
TIL acclaimed writer/director Takeshi Kitano was a game show host in the 80s.
Well, Meathead and Opie are some of America’s finest directors too.
He is a comedian??? I think I’ve only seen him playing mobster roles.
