Too bad though that movies he did for HOllywood were crap, just because these producers doesnt think he is bankable enough for the Western genre viewership. BUT you know WHAT? he has his own huge cult following in the West- They need to realize this guy is GOD!. He is king of offbeat roles, amazing talent and doesnt do work for the money- yeah check out his independent movies from other countries and you will how important his craft is. IChi, Rampo Noir, Invisible Waves etc.. this guy is pure talent and he has his own rock band too- with him in vocals- together with Japanese director Sogo Ishii- that awesome brain explosion type music he did for Electric Dragon 80000 V is just pure magic.

Too bad Takeshi hasn’t really made any English speaking films.

I have never actually asked anyone about it. (His father is African-American; his mother is Japanese.)

As for George Takei, he’s fluent in Japanese (but cannot read it). He definitely has ties to Japanese culture despite being an American. I suspect that Japanese Star Trek fans happily claim him.
