His father is Japanese and his mother is Taiwanese. He grew up in Taiwan and went to Japanese school until junior high school. After graduating Japanese school, he went to American high school in Taiwan. That's why his both Japanese and Mandarin are perfect.
Takeshi Kaneshiro to some people is considered the Johnny Depp of Japan. (Much Like Depp, He's a versatile actor known for making unusual career decisions and acting roles that end up making him wildly successful.) You might also Recognize Kaneshiro's face in The Videogame Series Onimusha. (His Japanese voice-over and face were used for the Character Samanosuke Akechi in Onimusha 1 and 3.)
I saw some articles years ago, said he grow up in Taiwan, but went to a Japanese primary school and an international secondary school there. That is why he can speak Japanese, English, Mandarin and Taiwanese Minnan. As he also acts in Hong Kong films so he needed to learn Cantonese. Since he didnt learn English when he was a small child, it is not his native language but I think he speaks quite well.
@@caprese63 I was asking because I had never heard such a beautiful accent before, so I've been asking around and gotten different replies, plus he's a polyglot so that's why I was confused hahahah
It's great that not everybody wants to go to Hollywood! This way world keeps diversity! I like Kaneshiro's acting and, yes, he's pretty handsome! Good to hear him speak English, too. xD
his father is Japanese from Okinawa and her mother is Taiwanese but he is aJapanese citizen and that explains why he speaks both languange, his english he learned it in school... he studied in an Inetrnational school in Taipe
I really like his movie "The Lavender" in 2000,, as Angel.. Yes, he's Angel from heaven who fall down on rooftop apartment's girl,, she is Athena (Kelly Chen) who lose his boyfriend, Andrew.. n the end of the story ... Angel must be back to Heaven cuz in Vatican will open the Heaven door, but Athena start fall in love to Angel, she sad lose her love again,, then come a boy is really same with Angel, the smell too, he is Michael Angelo, Restourant owner,, near from her apartment.. BEST MOVIE,, so Romantic... I love it sooo muuch.. 😍🎈🧚♂️❤
Mixed babies are always so cute, including this one, LOL. Takeshiro's so hot. Speaking of which, Dean Fujioka is half Japanese and half Taiwanese too. And HE'S hot too. sigh.
He might end up in a Hollywood movie (Onimusha Movie)... It would be sad if Samanosuke wouldn't be played by him... But then again, Samanosuke as Tenkai didn't have Takeshi's face... Still, I heard they confirmed very recently that it was gonna be Takeshi...
He's as hot as ever ^^ I've heard that he can speak 5 languages but surely he can speak at least 4; Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and English. I'm not sure what the 5th is.
He is Japanese too. He was lived in Japan during junior high school,his father is Japanese,so please,don’t try to erase his Japanese side just because you want.
you sound like you worry about his personal life too much. keanu barely gets any attention right now and i bet he doesn't care what people think about his sexuality. Almost every actor in hollywood has been accused of being gay, who cares? It's all hollywood gossip and sad to say, it comes with the territory.
i thought he couldn't talk cuz he ate expired pinepalles.
lol
Ah He Qiwu
Gahm sihng mouh

you sound like you worry about his personal life too much. keanu barely gets any attention right now and i bet he doesn't care what people think about his sexuality. Almost every actor in hollywood has been accused of being gay, who cares? It's all hollywood gossip and sad to say, it comes with the territory.
He's not good at English i must say, I'm an Asian and I think I'm better at it :))
He knows 4 languages! English is far from his native language so i think he's pretty cool!
