Sho Kosugi - 1985 - Part 1 of 3

[@soundtreks]

I still have a handwritten letter from him that I got from him when I wrote to him as a kid asking him if he trained anyone in ninjutsu. Very generous person.

[@frankj19758]

I would love to see this letter & his response.

[@adodoa777]

the man is legend, full respect!!!

[@user2734]

He is so young there gorgeous man beautiful smile 😍😚⚘⚘☺

[@NW1977]

I'm impressed with how laidback & soft spoken Sho is. With how he is in the interviews, you wouldn't expect it to be the same guy that has played cold-blooded & emotionless ninja in some of his films. All around great guy & the best ninja of the 80s. :)

[@MrDarkninja79]

Sho Kosugi is one the last few TRUE remaining Ninja Masters!! I still have a letter that he wrote me that said he grew up studying Iga-Ryu Ninjutsu and also he gave me an autographed picture as well!! As a Ninjutsu practitioner myself for many years, I can see that his skills in his movies and demonstrations are very authentic Ninjutsu skills!! Way to go Sho!!

[@randomaccount7708]

Yeah Sho you rule. Go Ninjas!

[@HolyMercenaryT]

Sho Kosugi=king of all ninjas

[@randomaccount7708]

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

Oh the nostalgia of the 1980s-era ninja movie...

[@djkill4441]

Sho Kosug much respect

[@rangekat]

he has extensive training in shindō jinen-ryū karate, kendo, judo, iaido, kobudo, aikido, and ninjutsu. He also runs an internationally oriented group of martial arts acting schools known as the Sho Kosugi Institute.

[@kugfujoe]

Correct Strangerdanger1977. He is the last of the traditionally trained Master Ninja. I think he was seriously underrated in the 80's due to Bruce Lee and those other guys. Koga and Iga fought but nowadays it is more of a family priide/competition that still exists.

[@Captainnationalexpress247]

Happy Birthday to the Agent of Missionary Shogun. Represent from [Nippon] Tokyo, Empire of Japan. Sho Kosugi. A man who has the Art of Invisibility and the atomizing strength of the warrior is here to prove himself to be the outstanding event that no one shall have what ti takes to outsmart him and his ninja skill in the adventure of Assassins Master Quest. Sho Kosugi make incredible impact to be amazing in many events that makes him 100% famous for the Emperor Shogun which admire his judgment to be a Martial Arts Hero.

[@TheShinobi32]

I have seen most of his movies he and Phillip Rhee are two of my favorites.

[@samuraiguineapig]

[@randomaccount7708]

Totally.

[@mahadragon]

[@BilingueDualCore]

I was a 7 year old boy in 1987 when i first watched Ninja III The Domination!

[@nilesable]

he also has a taiko drum group that did some of the music for "the scorpion king"

[@mobyrain]

[@outlaw6066]

Sho Kosugi IS the Bruce Lee of Ninjitsu.

[@chadrandall2153]

[@Roninlord25a]

[@randomaccount7708]

You sure do.

[@LupoMannaro666]

Did he say Kukishin Ryu was Ninjutsu?And what style did he say He practised?

[@Thizlamic]

* bows * OSS Master Kosugi * bows lower *

[@sw1tched]

but so much for passing on the ninja awesomeness to Kane the superior of the 2....Sho and Kane don't talk to each other and have went different ways for 5-6 years now.....saw a japanese interview recently with sho and he called his son a coward......ouch

[@randomaccount7708]

That's gonna hurt in the morning dude. I got you.😕

[@grekito]

@Strangerdanger1977 Too Me! He still is:)

[@EnuffWITdWOBBLEbass]

Bad asa weapons

[@derrickwoodard4165]

this is the way of the Ozunu

[@jermaineonealnumber7]

@mmaguy79 Great idea! But I hope they leave the exorcism out of it. Sho was a real bad ass in Ninja Assassin. Loved the movie.

[@RodCornholio]

Hah, I always assumed he was a dumbass actor who did karate moves and gymnastics as instructed by a fight/stunt coordinator. Wrong. This dude was THE movie ninja of the 1980's. Inspired a lot of people to seriously look into actual historical ninjutsu. Sometimes it takes fiction to motivate one to arrive at fact.
