	Odagiri Joe - DramaWiki

	Odagiri Jo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Odagiri Jou (オダギリジョー) (born 16 February 1976 in Tsuyama Okayama Japan) is a Japanese actor.
		I've been a fan of Jo Dee's since she rattled the airwaves with "Heads Carolina, Tails California." This album is a must have for every Jo Dee fan even if you have all previous other albums, this is all the favorites on one new CD and four brand...
		Jo Ann is a really good rag time player, but I agree with the other reviewer that she plays the tunes too fast, especailly Maple Leaf Rag.

	Azumi Review (2003)
		Aya Ueto, Hiroki Narimiya, Kenji Kohashi, Yoshio Harada, Aya Okamoto, Jo Odagiri, Yuma Ishigaki, Minoru Matsumoto, Naoto Takenata, Kazuki Kitamura, Takatoshi Kaneko, Shun Oguri
		The heroine emerges with hardly a scratch throughout all these hostilities, with only the occasional spray of her opponents' blood to disrupt her unstoppable abilities, which can get a little hard to believe, but there is one villain who looks like being her match.
		Bijomaru (Jo Odagiri) is a bizarre, sword-wielding, yet strangely camp foe, sort of the answer to Azumi's woman in a man's world character for being a pink eye-shadow wearing, shrieking man in a woman's costume.

		The only thing exciting going on in their lives is Mamoru's prized pet, a poisonous red jellyfish that will later figure heavily into the film's main plot.

	Japan Film: Azumi (Aya Ueto)
		Gessai himself is a study in contradictions, fiercely devoted to his cause but with doubts that run far deeper than his disciples could ever suspect.
		Nearly stealing the show, however, is Jo Odagiri as Bijomaru Mogami, a brutal yet effete killer released from prison to take down the assassins.
		Strolling about in a white robe, red rose in hand, he is a connoisseur of murder who’s become so proficient at it that he can simply kick back and enjoy it like a fine wine.

	Midnight Eye review: Azumi (Ryuhei KITAMURA - 2003)
		After completing the final barbarous challenge of their training, the remaining five bid goodbye to their idyllic life in the mountains and set off with Jiji to begin their mission.
		However, the assassins themselves prove hard to kill, and eventually flower-fondling psychopath Bijomaru (Jo Odagiri) is released from prison to finish their dirty work.
		Odagiri inexplicably won a Japanese academy award for his efforts here (as did Ueto) despite giving a far better account of himself in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Bright Future, and although the former Kamen Rider heartthrob tries to make the most of the only character in the film that remains truly manga-esque, he's clearly miscast.

	[KFCC] Princess Raccoon Review
		As a beautiful human, Zhang falls in love with Amechiyo (Jo Odagiri), the son of the local lord, who has been banished for being fairer than the father (shades of SNOW WHITE).
		Amechiyo and Tanuki-hime are pulled from all sides and told to end their love affair, citing the danger of forbidden love between human and tanuki.
		The "Koisuru Tansansui" duet with Zhang and Odagiri echoes throughout the film and is used to introduce the lovers as they float along the river or walk in the forest and whenever they are together.

	The Silhouette Online Edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		So I jumped in knowing nothing more than the film was from Japan, the title sounded positive, and a red jellyfish figured prominently into the plot.
		The story begins in a grainy and disenfranchised sector of industrial Tokyo, where two friends, Yugi (Jo Odagiri) and Mamoru (Tadanobu Asano), live.
		They work monotonous jobs in a laundry factory while Yugi tells of his recurring dreams of a glorious utopian future where all is beautiful; a stark contrast to their current plight as alienated, angst-ridden, directionless youth.

	Azumi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This character is so frenzied and by violence and blood you'd think he's about to have an orgasm.
		The guy who played this role (Jô Odagiri) must have had a blast.
		Ultimately, Azumi might never get an Oscar, but as a piece of entertainment with a touch of sensibility it does it is undeniably successful.

		Oh if you're going to watch Shinsengumi Keppuroku with Saitou Hajime ONLY in mind, then you will be very disappointed as he is glossed over.
		Anyway back to Saitou, you must be wondering what is the verdict on Jo Odagiri playing Saitou-sama...

		The action arrives at welcome intervals, but the most notable varation seems to be who the heroes (or heroine, as things go) will be carving up.
		A trio of uncouth killers, an honorable monkey-assassin (Minoru Matsumoto), and an effeminate psycho swordsman (Jo Odagiri) are among the comic book villains who show up to challenge Azumi, and all are amusing in their own quirky way.

		This is intolerable to Momoyama who immediately resolves to banish his son to a haunted and inhospitable mountain, the same one on which he had abandoned Amechiyo‘s mother to die years before.
		The cast is quite good, although Jo Odagiri plays his role so straight as to pale in comparison with the craziness around him.
		Zhang Ziyi is attractive as usual, and I appreciate what a good sport she was by appearing in a movie this offbeat and bizarre.

		Winding up in the tanuki forest (an animal native to Asia that is part raccoon, part dog), he comes across their shape-shifting Princess (Zhang Ziyi), and, well, that’s all you need to know.
		She and Jo Odagiri have a certain Jeanette MacDonald/Nelson Eddie innocent-like quality to them, and their duets are genuinely charming.

		Saori has never forgiven her father for leaving her late mother, nor is she fond of gays.

		Oh, humans can never understand why tanukis do what they do.
		The language barrier doesn't really put a crimp in her eventual romance with the human prince Amechiyo (Odagiri Jo, rivaling Zhang in prettiness), because love transcends all languages.
		They do have plenty of other problems to deal with, like Amechiyo's father, who, in true (if gender-reversed) fairy-tale fashion, is trying to kill Amechiyo because his blossoming good looks threaten to make him, rather than his father, the fairest of them all.

	Premiere Magazine: Bright Future
		Straying in content—but not in tone—from Kurosawa's signature alt-horror thrillers, Bright Future begins as a fairly linear, if awkwardly cadenced chronicle of two disaffected young men who work together in a hand-towel factory.
		Quiet brooder Yuji Nimura (Jo Odagiri) is entranced by the mysteriously volatile Mamoru Arita (Tadanobu Asano), and although the two don’t seem to have much in common—nor even hobbies—they bond over Mamoru’s pet, a luminous and deadly red jellyfish.
		Mamoru’s influence over Yuji is most apparent by a series of esoteric hand commands he constantly assigns: pointing a thumb at his chest tells Yuji to "Wait," while a jutting index finger forward is "Go ahead." The context of these directions isn’t quite clear, but Mamoru’s behavior is more than just peculiar, it’s downright dangerous.

		In exactly this sense, Bright Future may be one of his most unbalanced films yet.
		Handsome twenty-something Yuji Niimura (Jo Odagiri) used to see bright dreams of the future, but now he works part-time at an oshibori (washcloth) laundry with his pal, Mamoru Arita (Tadanobu Asano).
		Mamoru keeps a deadly poisonous red jellyfish as a pet.
