altho i didn't see the movie (yet) and i don't know that the character watanabe is bald, samurais (depending on their rank), (and most of royalties) having most their head shavened, leaving the top knot, called the "chonmage".

Today's osumo-san wear their hair in that style as well. Other variations of the chonmage:

Thanks so much, i love you lam! *wiping tears from my eyes*

Here's what the Batmobile in the upcoming Batman: Begins movie looks like:

More Dark Knight Returns than anything else, eh? Maybe Bat-Monster Truck, RIMSHOT!!! ooooh, been awhile since one o'those, eh?

Let's not hope Watanabe's Ra's Al Ghul meets his demise underneath one of those tires.

Is there anyone who admires and obsessed to Ken Watanabe as me?

I think he is one of the very great Japanese artist who could start the career in Hollywood. I am so looking forward to his work in 2005: Batman Begins and Memoris of a Geisha.

Surprisingly, there isn't a thread for him....

Piece of trivia: you can see a very young Watanabe Ken in Itami Juzo's Tampopo.... :D

Actually, there is. Right Here.

Heh, actually I did find that one in my search, but I wasn't sure... :)

I remember there has been a thread about Ken Watanabe some time ago...but just maybe too long ago and cannot not find it.

Thanks for bringing it out.

I have not watched Tampopo yet, but I see some pictures of it. Yes, Ken is very very young in that movie. Thanks for telling~!

Hi from Italy, I'm a fan ok Ken Watanabe; maybe the only fan in Italy?:)
He was famous for The Last Samurai, film of my life........
Now I'm waiting for Memoirs of a geisha, and you?
If you want, contact me, I will very happy to answer!!

Dewa mata!!

Aww, how nice! A fan of Ken. I personally don't know that much about him, but I did enjoy his character in The Last Samurai. That film really is a noteworthy one. Wasn't Ken nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the Oscars for that film?

i've not seen it yet but he's also in 'batman begins' i believe. yep, he was cool in 'the last samurai'

'i enjoyed this conversation' :mrgreen:
