He began his career in the mid-1960s at the age of five, and was the protégé of actor Sonny Chiba. A black belt in Kyokushin Karate, he initially gained prominence for his roles in Japanese and Hong Kong action films, later establishing himself as a dramatic actor. He is best known to international audiences for his roles as Ryuji Takayama in Ring (1998) where he played alongside Nanako Matsushima, who was also his co-star in a 1997 television drama A Story of Love. His role as the Fool in a production of the Shakespeare play King Lear (1999–2000) gave him theatrical attention, and led to his appointment as an Honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2002. Beginning in the 2000s, Sanada grew his Hollywood presence with such roles as Seibei Iguchi in The Twilight Samurai (2002), Ujio in The Last Samurai (2003), and Kenji in Rush Hour 3 (2007).
Born in Tokyo, he was scouted by an entertainer while playing with the son of the actor Kokichi Takada who lived in the same condominium. After working as a model for a magazine for young children, he joined the Himawari Theatre Group at the age of five. Originally planning to be an action movie star, he studied Shorinji Kempo and later took up Kyokushin kaikan karate.[3] He began playing baseball at age 8 as a catcher.[4] Sanada was mentored by actor Shinichi "Sonny" Chiba, and was a member of his Japan Action Club,[5] becoming his protégé.[6]
At the age of five, Sanada had his first role in the 1966 film Game of Chance (浪曲子守唄), the son of Chiba's character.[7] He had several roles in Japanese television and films, but quit temporarily so he could focus on living a normal childhood. He said this gave him "a good chance to watch movies as the audience", helping his perspective.[6] By his teenage years he knew how to act, fight, sing, dance, perform stunts, ride horseback, and had developed versatility.[5] Sanada had noticed that many popular actors would develop such skills, and felt it was "the best service for the audience" to do so himself before he practised acting again.[6] He began acting again with a part in a film by Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku.[6]
1982–1999: Japanese character roles
Sanada received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film Science from Nihon University in 1982.[8] In 1992, Sanada played Yoshinari, a stockbroker turned yakuza in the comedy film Keisho Sakazuki (Succession), with Ogata Ken.[9] In 1997 Sanada starred in a television drama A Story of Love, also known by its Japanese title Konna Koi no Hanashi, where he played the role of Shuichiro Harashima, a wealthy but lonely upper-class businessman who falls in love with a decorating designer from a lower-class family played by Nanako Matsushima.[10] The following year in 1998, Sanada once again co-starred with Nanako Matsushima in the mystery thriller Ringu (Ring) as Takayama Ryuji, the ex-husband of Matsushima's character Reiko, a journalist investigating the death of her niece.[9] Also in 1998, Sanada starred as Asami in Jun Ichikawa's Tadon to Chikuwa. Sanada's role followed the story of a writer suffering from writer's block.[9] In 1999, Sanada starred in Mayonaka Made (Round About Midnight) as Moriyama Koji, a confident jazz trumpet performer who performs at a club called Cotton Tail. In the film, Moriyama sees Michelle Reis's character being attacked by two murderers, who they proceed to chase throughout the film.[9]
1999–2002: Royal Shakespeare Company
In 1999 and 2000, he performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in their production of King Lear.[5] Producer Nigel Hawthorne personally invited Sanada to play the role, yet Sanada had doubts since he had not taken an English-language role before. Sanada was convinced after the producers assured him that he was "an actor first before [being] Japanese or Asian".[6] For this role, he was appointed an Honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2002, citing his "contribution to spreading British culture in Japan."[5][11] That year, Sanada played the lead role of the low-ranking Seibei Iguchi in The Twilight Samurai. It follows the turbulent life and times of the character, and documents the financial woes that a 19th-century Japanese warrior could have faced.[12]
2003–2009: The Last Samurai and international breakthrough
