I lived and worked in Japan in the 90s, and it was then that I first saw Sanada-san's acting. He quickly became one of my favorite actors in Japan. Since then, I've been excited to watch his career growing in Japan and overseas. This new project is a great achievement for him. Congratulations to Sanada-san and the entire team working with him to bring the novel, Shogun, to life.

We got to take pics with him and other cast members of the Last Samurai. He was very gracious and spoke about the spiritual aspect of our land. Our ancestral mountain: Mt. Taranaki, doubled as Mt. Fuji in tLS. Since then I have followed and watched nearly everything he’s been in. I absolutely can’t wait to watch this series.
