Seems to be an actor, but might be interesting to know if he has any training...

I think this is the same guy from the fundoshi thread...

[renfield_kuroda]

The page is all about actors and making "chambara" samurai movies. They're all actors, though stage fighting/chambara could be considered a martial art in its own right.

In his Bio it says he works at the Toei Studios Theme park in Kyoto.

Chambara/ Stage fighting a martial art in it's own right????

I beg to differ.

The Chambara/ Stage Fight stuff I have seen is pure crap.

I found this link for "Fundoshi World" off on of the links at the bottom of the actor's page. This quote kills me...



One of Japanese traditional clothes "Fundoshi" is featured in this homepage.
Fundoshi (loincloth) is being used for the various use in the underclothes handed down by a Japanese.
It comments on them with this web. It thinks that it is happy if Japanese culture,
Tradition are understood through the loincloth.

Hee hee hee... forget all this martial arts crap... just get a loincloth. I damn sure bet when you put one on for the first time, it will increase your "awareness!"

Authentic clothing adds to the experience...just ask anybody who wears a hakama...or a kilt. If it needs to be explained, it probably can't be understood...:p
