It's troubling when you hear of one of your favorite actors fighting an illness that few people win. This week's news about acting great Ken Watanabe is no exception. Watanabe who has been recently performing in The King and I is best known here in the West for his role as the fictional Samurai Warlord Katsumoto in The Last Samurai. While he has since appeared in many films here such as Inception, Batman Returns, and Godzilla, we've known about his work going back to Baian the Assassin through to Year One in the North in various Samurai films and dramas. But it is his role in Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven where his true power of his acting leaps of the screen impressing many including Clint Eastwood himself! We would sure hate to lose him. Fortunately, they caught this in an early stage so Katsumoto will not be dying a good death anytime soon. He's been down this road before when he battled Leukemia and won and hopefully this cancer will not return. His publicist says he is recovering from surgery and will return to the King and I in March of 2016. We at American Mishima like to echo Mr. Watanabe's own gratefulness to his wife actress Kaho Minami for having recommending a checkup and a doctor. ども ありがとう ございまして!
Get Well Soon Watanabe-sama!
