Life and career

1966–1978: Child actor

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.[2] He began playing baseball at age 8
as a catcher.[3] Sanada was mentored by actor Shinichi "Sonny" Chiba, and was a member of his Japan
Action Club,[4] becoming his protégé.[5]

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.[6] 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.[5] By his teenage years he knew how to act, fight, sing, dance,
perform stunts, ride horseback, and had developed versatility.[4] 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.[5] He began acting again with a part in a film by Japanese director Kinji
Fukasaku.[5]

1982–1999: Japanese character roles

Sanada received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film Science from Nihon University in 1982.[7] In 1992,
Sanada played Yoshinari, a stockbroker turned yakuza in the comedy film Keisho Sakazuki (Succession),
with Ogata Ken.[8] 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.[9] 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.[8] 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.[8] 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.[8]

1999–2002: Royal Shakespeare Company

In 1999 and 2000, he performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in their production of King
Lear.[4] 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".[5] 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."[4][10] 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.[11]

2003–2009: The Last Samurai and international breakthrough

In 2003, Sanada's role as Ujio, a master swordsman, opposite Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai, brought
him praise.[11] Sanada played Matsuda, a man who befriends Ralph Fiennes' character Todd Jackson, in
The White Countess (2005) directed by James Ivory.[12] He starred in the Chinese film The Promise
directed by Chen Kaige as General Guangming.[13] Sanada appeared in Rush Hour 3 (2007) with Jackie
Chan and Chris Tucker, Danny Boyle's Sunshine (2007) as Kaneda,[8] and The City of Your Final
Destination (2009), in which he plays Pete, the younger lover of Anthony Hopkins's character Adam
Gund.[14]

2010–2020: Lost, Westworld, and Avengers: Endgame

Sanada joined the cast of the ABC TV series Lost in 2010 during
its sixth and final season. He portrayed Dogen, a high-ranking
member of "The Others".[15] In 2013, he appeared in 47 Ronin
(the first English-language adaptation of the Chushingura legend,
Japan's most famous tale of samurai loyalty and revenge)
alongside Keanu Reeves,[16] as Shingen Yashida in The Wolverine
opposite Hugh Jackman,[17] and as Takashi Nagase in The
Railway Man, a story of vengeance and reconciliation co-starring
Stellan Skarsgård and Colin Firth.[11] He voiced "Sumo Villain"
in Minions, a master of strength and power who pursues the
Minions.[18]

Sanada was a guest star as Takehaya, a former Japanese Navy

officer and legendary pirate captain in post-plague Asia, in the Sanada on a press tour for the series
apocalyptic drama series The Last Ship.[19] He also starred in the Helix (2013)
2017 movie Life with Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, and
Ryan Reynolds.[5] In 2018, he began a recurring role as
swordmaster Musashi on the HBO series Westworld and played the minor role of Akihiko in the 2019
film Avengers: Endgame.[20] That year, he received the Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon from the
Japanese government for his "artistic developments, improvements, and accomplishments"[21] In August
2019, Sanada was cast in the Mortal Kombat reboot as Scorpion.[22][23] In 2020, Sanada starred alongside
Johnny Depp in the film Minamata.[24][11] In 2021, he played the shrewd casino owner Bly Tanaka in
Zack Snyder's action film Army of the Dead.[11]

2021–present: Bullet Train, John Wick: Chapter 4, Shōgun

In 2022, Sanada took the major supporting role of the Elder in Bullet Train opposite Brad Pitt.[25] In
2023, he portrayed Koji Shimazu, manager of the Osaka Continental Hotel, in John Wick: Chapter 4,[26]
and was featured in a multi-commercial campaign introducing Mazda CX-90.[27][28]
 In 2021, Sanada was announced as producer and part of
the cast of the FX limited series Shōgun, adapted from the
James Clavell novel, playing the part of Lord
Toranaga.[29][3] The series has received widespread global
critical acclaim, with Sanada's role in the series
considered a highlight among many reviewers.[30][31] In
2024, Sanada became the first Japanese actor or actress to
win any Primetime Emmy, and specifically the first
Japanese winner of the Primetime Emmy Award for
Sanada (fourth from the left) at an event Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, for his role in
