Asakusa Kid

Well this was emotional. A deep look into the comedic roots of the now mega-famous global superstar Takeshi Kitano.

I've been a TK fan for a long time so I'm probably going to be a bit biased. This is how to do a biopic though.

It's focusing on his early stage life and how he developed into a famous comedic duo known as 'Two Beat'.

There could easily be another biopic about this legend considering his later-life, developing Takashi's Castle and becoming an internationally-acclaimed director.

The charm of this movie really does it for me. It's a rags-to-riches' tale and actually a lesson for streaming service CEO's, given how much quality content is dropped after one season now. It takes time to grow and develop your craft.

Watch this to learn about one of Japan's best comedians and directors.

Domo arigato Mr Kitano.
