A Tribute To Hiroyuki Sanada

[v8diva]

Stopping by again to show my Hiro's videos some love! Haven't heard anything on him in the news lately. Time to pull out some of my favorite movies of him!

[elba1050]

the best movies of him are the ninja in the dragons den and shogun ninjas so a perfect acteur and cute too i've have seen him in a movie for a long time its a shame his soooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooood

[elizamannion2363]

"Hiroyuki Sanada is Chuck Norris from Japan" Get out of here what an insult! Hiro is diverse and never got stuck with the Martial Arts Actor label he has done everything from Shakespeare to horror films and Japanese TV dramas: High School Teacher, this Story of Love which I watched in Japanese and the acting is second to non- to name but a few and now in the States Lost and soon to be appearing in Revenge. Chuck Norris would be lucky if he had one shread of Hiros' talent.Thank you

[Kemas42292]

[Haddasa]

[SuperMsKan]

[fiddlergal]

He's as beautiful as ever!!! 

[Shaka468]

Sanada is truly amazing, i love his old movies!!

[textera147]

THE SINGER IS THE JAPANESE LUIS MIGUEL.. AJAJA..

[OkamiNinja7]

Do you have the name of the 2nd song? I only know it's the 3rd song to to the show "Kage no Gundan", which Hiroyuki also played in.

[NoodleLegs9]

Do you know where I could get this music? Or any of his music!!!? It's soooo hard to find! :(

[dxcell1]

Loved him in Twilight Samurai

[lilsweeney16]

Sexiset 50 yr old i evr seen

[divosarce]

We saw him lately in the season finale of LOST :)). Let's juts say that he's a really fine man... I personally have a secret crush on him ever since The Last Samurai. Thanks for the tribute!

[PPDKing]

Could someone please tell me the rough English translation of Ujio's rally (or perhaps victory) cry after the fight with the ninja in the village?

[candy9880]

hiroyuki sanada is also one of my fav ninja actors.

[Brokenlink777]

Hiroyuki was just awsome in the last samari! great video thanks:)

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

He's a great guy and i love his movies. A Warm hello to Japan from Canada!

[udon890]

I like Hirojuki when he was young, so handsome.

[alexandramartin007]

lovely video...many thanks...

[jellybellyratz]

well done!

[yamamoto3000]

Sanada is a master of the sword. RESPECT

[hijaubulan]

His kicking is awesome! Great actor and fighter.How old is he now?

[shafak48]

@hijaubulan he'll be 50 in october...

[joopsnoop]

He is 3rd dan in Kyokushin Karate of Mas Oyama. Always so exciting.

[tomlatino69]

SANKUOKAI

T.T

[PLefevre95]

I saw this movie about two years ago, and HOW THE HELL did I miss Hiroyuki Sanada...I think is because I was drooling over Cruise. LOL. Boy, lucky is the woman married to Sanada!

[shafak48]

@PLefevre95 actually he's devorced...and has two sons

[PLefevre95]

@shafak48 thanks for the update ^U^

[shafak48]

@PLefevre95 u're very welcome

[snakey319]

he is one sexy man, thanks for making this.

[lillus24]

what songs are these ?

[Sary88]

Do you have the whole third song? That's my favourite!

[thumbsaloft]

This is one of my very fave martial artists, I wish someone would really feature him and his fighting skills in a new movie.

He would be excellent in something like that new Ninja assasin movie. Many people don't know how awesome this guys martial art skills are.

[shafak48]

totally agree with you :)

[CuteZombie12]

i love him

[iloveterriers]

Looks better as he ages.

[Eregost2]

Dont forget Sunshine! He is great in that movie.

[FuzzyMommy]

I'd do 'im. ;)

[halil65]

yea i can tell you this ,i would wana phuck with him if i was tom cruzzz hahahah

yea he's good man

[bullettme]

OOOps, I also saw Rush Hour 3 :D

[bullettme]

His only film that I saw was The Last Samurai and I loved his performance.

[AquarielCharm]

Sanada is my favorite Japanese actor. Had I known your video was here I would have faved it a long time ago ;-)

[shevegen]

Back when he was ~20 up to about 32 years he was really skilled in his martial arts. He and Donnie Yen were my favourites.

In Tasogare Seibei, although he was a lot older, he probably did one of his best performances of an aging samurai who gave up fighting.

[anyelaloli]

I think he looks HOT as samurai. :D

[shafak48]

omg he was so cuuute and shy

in Taiheiki

thanxx for sharing this htube1101

[htube1101]

For those of you who truly admire him, watch Taiheiki, the NHK Taiga series from 1991. You will be very impressed with this gentle yet fiercesome samurai for 49 hours. Watch this shy samurai meeting his bride-to-be on Youtube in the Taiheiki clip, just type in Taiheiki. Taiheiki is available in DVD format.

[maxINaus]

i love the third song. Would love to hear the whole thing. If anyone knows where I can find it or even just the name, I would greatly appreciate it.

[34D2234]

The Samuri warrior's were the most feared and fierce fighting machines in the world.

Hiroyuki has class!

[htube1101]

They still are! I would not dear stand in front of Mr. Sanada when he is upset, he can chop me up into pieces with his samurai sword...

[maxINaus]

This guy is cool. A good singer too.

[redstar7678]

he is so gorgeous...

[Miss2elgatta]

tried to find this video it was in my favourite before...i'm glad it's still up.

:O) Arigato

[aekjaree]

Yes, of course! Hiro did.

The first one and the thirth one is from his album " Like a cinema " in 1986! ^_^

The second one, I don' t know which album but the name is Chikai. :-)

[kodoku22]

[natsuko823]

真田広之さん大好きです～！

若い頃も素敵でしたが、年齢を重ねた今の方が大好きです(´ω｀­＊)

[higgscoach]

Ujio is one of the baddest motherfuckers in movie history. What a great character. What a great actor.

[Miss2elgatta]

He is great... I think he is the only celebrity that I would be speechless in front of, well him and Jackie oh and Jet Li

[shafak48]

But, Hiroyuki is BETTER than Tom cruise, more talented, more BEAUTIFUL hehe

I even read at imbd that he saved tom's life while filming "the last samurai"

so, hohoho tom owes him a lot !!!

My only HERO , come and save my life too...

[aekjaree]

The director of The Last Samurai said that Hiroyuki is " The Tom Cruise of Japan "!! And I Heard that some Japanese said that " He is The Pride of Japan "!! I' m very proud of him, he is " My Great Hero "!!

[v8diva]

[tatianaramunova]

Hiroyuki Sanada is a multi-talented actor. It doesn't hurt that his drop-dead gorgeous as well! He gets sexier as he gets older! I love him and wish him all the best! Nice tribute, AnnieBear! Kore wa kirei desu.

[ameratsu28]

Sanadasan; Compelling ~ Brilliant ~ Gorgeous! YUM!

[OYuki05]

Sanada is GREAT!!He's my favourite actor!

[yeastori]

Don't know why but I think he should be going out with Alisha Keys, I mean somehow they seem to be a good couple.

[xxwhatevahxx]

I loved his movies "Ninja in the Dragons den" and "Police Assassins", awesome martial artist! He is great now.. but Hiroyuki is old school!

[aekjaree]

he's great!that's all I know... love him also.

[kailynx]

[sanadavorg]

[crumzman]

Hiro San, you are one of my top best actors internationally, great job as always, God bless you.

[yeastori]

he is in "the 8 samurai" which is one of the best japanese movies,"last samurai",death of a ninja",and ninja in dragon's den

[InfinityIslamic]

i love this guy...

at ninja kommando he is really the best!!

[yeastori]

you know he is also in "omyoji"

[MamekoM]

Sanada is not his real family name. He is divorced and is known as quite the ladie's man. He has won the best actor award 5 times in Japan... Beat that Cruise-san! If you rent the Twilight Samurai (among his best work) you can catch a great interview with him in the bonus features. Sanada-san daisuki! ^_^

[moksie1970]

Yes...Hiro is the man..!!!!

[thaov100]

he's an awesome hero back in the days of his ninja roles. looks like he's going mano-y-mano with jackie chan in the next rush hour 3. it'll be cool to see him don his samurai/ninja costume for the fight.

[ShiroTakahiro]

Sanada Yukimura was a hero, red soldier under Shingen Takeda's army, the Red army. And, Yukimura is a dude, lol.

[ShiroTakahiro]

maybe related to Sanada Yukimura, perhaps? lol

[aliebear]

no clue lol is that person a girl or guy?

[ogstizzle]

Unbelievable, he was in Last Samurai? I only know Sanada from Fight in the dragons den. one of my fav eastern of all times!!! i love this film and the fight against Conan Lee

[sithlordess]

HE SINGS??!!!! WOW!!! I think he is gorgeous, love the way he moves, love his voice and actually I loved it when he beat Tom Cruise to the ground, hehehe! I love him and I got him on MySpace too!

[Val378]

Well I love Hiroyuki. I've been a fan of his since the early 80's. He's a triple threat in the entertainment industry and he deserves all the success that's coming his way. I recently purchased "The White Countess" and "The Promise." I can't wait to see my man in "Rush Hour 3" and "Sunshine." I wish he had a Myspace page so I could tell him just how much I looooooove him!!! LOL

[loosecno]

[aliebear]
