Have you ever bested a brown bear with nothing but you own brawn? Probably not, but I wanted to tell you about someone who has. That's right, Japanese action star Tak Sakaguchi (Shinobi, Versus).
Tak will be attending this year's AFI Dallas International Film festival for his movie Yoroi: The Samurai Zombie, we at FUNimation had the pleasure of having Tak come to our studio. He even did an interview about his role in FUNimation's release of Shinobi. Want to see? Check it out on our video player. You might have seen my picture with him in the Flickr gallery. (I really geeked out and printed it for him to sign before he left the office). Here's a scan of the autographed picture. I think my hair's a bit longer now.
So anyway, if you're attending AFI Dallas, check out his film in addition to Evangelion 1.0. Keep an eye out for him. I'll be around during the Evangelion 1.0 screenings also if anyone cares - look for some dude with hair like Thobari from Nabari no Ou but a little shorter.
So which of Tak Sakaguchi's movies have you seen? Oh, did I mention he also has been buried alive by the Yakuza?

If you used the search function and put in Nabari, this is the only post that would have come up. And since Tyrenol commented about it, I put it there.
here is the ninja
It has been found!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Jutsu wasn't good enough teichou! Why Tyrenol?
No problem. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question!
Unfortunately, I cannot confirm if he actually showed up. I did not have a chance to see him.
Could anyone comment as to whether or not Mr. Sakaguchi actually attended this year's festival? I cannot find anything on the subject beyond this post. Thanks!
I know this is a far stretch, Chris. But you need to read my LJ more. Not everything I say is negative.
And for the record, it's called "being honest and straightforward." Since when is it a good thing to lie?
Tyrenol: You should express your opinions on your livejournal only http://tyrenol.livejournal.com/ almost every post on this blog is negative.
Mario what do you mean he was banned from AOD? http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.php?t=91602
I love when you put your hair up, you're so much hotter that way. You can't top Thobari though, sorry hun.
Love you~
I haven't killed a bear with my bare hands.
My sword has the blood of BVUSA and JapanAnime on it. Does that count?
And I'm hoping to see the real Thobari in action. (Read: I hope for a stellar English-dub job on Nabari no Ou.)
