  Modern Japan - Famous Japanese - Sanada Hiroyuki
Sanada Hiroyuki is a rare animal in the Japanese entertainment world -- an "engi-ha" or actor who can really act.
And Sanada is one of the very few who have had the courage to prove this outside Japan.
Sanada has earned quite a reputation as a playboy, notably having an affair with actress Suzuki Riona, 15 years younger.

 Hiroyuki Sanada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Sanada made his first big impression when he was 18 years old in the 1978 film Shogun Samurai, another Sonny Chiba film.
Ring was a huge success and further thrust Sanada into the lime light, allowing him to be cited as one of Japan's leading actors at the time, while he has won the Best Actor award at the Japan Academy Awards five times.
Sanada's first role in a Toho produced film didn't come until 2001, though, with the movie Onmyoji where Sanda played the film's antagonist, Doson.

 Reel Reviewer.com - THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI
Sanada plays the title role here and also has a minor role as a samurai rebel in the Cruise film, though his role here as 'Seibei' is the emotional polar opposite of the much sterner 'Uzio' (the one that beats Tom Cruise's character in stickfighting) in "The Last Samurai."
While Sanada's character in Cruise's film is rather one-dimensional, his leading role in "Twilight Samurai" allows him to show off a much wider acting range as the beleagured ex-samurai who can't seem to get his life straightened out.
That is, until at last he is forced to return to his hidden talent, as the master of the 'short' sword, when he is ordered to execute another samurai to keep his place within the clan.

 Arrow In The Head's movie review of Ringu: Matsushima Nanako/Reiko, Hiroyuki Sanada/Ryuji
Add to that the videotape itself which is spooky on its own (fucked up!!!!) and the spine-chilling apparition of Sadako (my blood froze when she steeped fully on the screen for the first time) and you get a film that might get under your skin.
Where "Ring" lost some points with me was with its inclusion of the all-knowing Ryuji (Sanada).
And even though I didn’t like Hiroyuki Sanada (Ryuji) character, I can’t deny that he did a good job in playing him.

 Tribute to Images: Sanada Hiroyuki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Sanada is a real-life master of such art.
The story is not so fictional either; it centered on the warlord Matsumoto (an absolutely convincing gig of Watanabe Ken), who clashed against Emperor Meiji's post-1868 'Westernization' and, by the time the movie gets unrolled, it is 1877 and Matsumoto lost his place among the teenage Emperor's cabinet and board of advisors for good.
Sanada Hiroyuki has to ride behind not just his Lord Watanabe but also Cruise -- his character Ujio is a Matsumoto Captain, so he's under Watanabe's command; and, nevermind what Cruise's role is supposed to be, it is his movie.

 The Promise (Wu ji) (2005): Hiroyuki Sanada, Jang Dong-Gun, Cecilia Cheung - PopMatters Film Review
Grown up to be a princess (and played by the exquisite Cecilia Cheung), she lives in splendor with the evil duke Wuhuan (Nicholas Tse), longing for a way out.
Little does she know that a very complicated rescue will befall her, orchestrated by two men, the daunting General Guangming (Hiroyuki Sanada) and his determinedly loyal slave Kunlun (Jang Dong-Gun), who happens as well to be the fastest human alive.
Kunlun demonstrates this remarkable gift during his first appearance, when he and a small band of fellows are fighting overwhelming odds: Kunlun literally and quite crazily outruns a herd of bulls, slipping up and down canyon walls, legs churning, dust billowing.

Sanada can match Yeoh kick for kick but is angry and sullen through most of the film, while Wong mostly serves as a gadfly to Yeoh.
