His Big Breakthrough Role: Wong Kar Wai's "Chungking Express" in 1994 opened the door for him in Japan.

He was born on the 11th of October 1973 in Taipei, Taiwan.
He lives in Tokyo now but sometimes goes to Taipei to his hometown. Family: Father (half Japanese, half Chinese), Mother (Taiwanese), 2 Brothers (7 years and 1 year older than him)
*Most info you get is that Takeshi is half Japanese half Chinese, but he is actually 1/4 Japanese, 3/4 Chinese. His father is the one who is half and half (Japanese father, Chinese mother).

Blood Type: O
Height: 179cm (about 5' 10" - 5' 11")
Weight: Changes all the time

Languages: Mandarin, Japanese, Taiwanese fluently. Some Cantonese and English.

Education: Japanese School (elementary school & part of high school), Taipei American School (part of high school).
Well the truth is... Takeshi is a high school dropout. As far as I know he didn't finish the last year of high school.

I want to watch "Chungking Express"

hi, i want to know where he lives right now most of time? in Japan? sometime i really want to see him in person. i wonder if he has a plan to visit in America sometime? i hope he does.... smile

rakefetkang, he is living in Taiwan now. Thosgh couple of years ago he used to live in Tokyo. That time he said it was better for him to live in Tokyo but 'cause of the fact that his relatives are in Taiwan - he wanted to go living there too.

But I have got a good news for you, 'cause seemingly he has no problems in going to the USA - 'cause his father lives there in Seattle: http://tkfanclub.do.am/publ/2-1-0-10
