[SpeedKlz]

Sho Kosugi personally confirmed he is a practitioner of 'Iga Ryu' Ninjitsu and has designed his own 500 different weapons.

[TheShinobi32]

I have seen most of his movies he and Phillip Rhee are two of my favorites.

[Huhmasta]

he's the master in NINJA ASSASSIN, what a badass

[BLAQXMASQ]

LEGEND!!!

[NW1977]

I'm impressed with how laidback & soft spoken Sho is. With how he is in the interviews, you wouldn't expect it to be the same guy that has played cold-blooded & emotionless ninja in some of his films. All around great guy & the best ninja of the 80s. :)

[outlaw6066]

Sho Kosugi IS the Bruce Lee of Ninjitsu.

[totojpx]

Sho Kosugi the Best Japanese actor also KING and MASTER of all Ninjas a covert agent or mercenary and hired assasins in ancient japan your movies is the best of akk ninjas movies based on the original Japanese Ninjas

[slickrick1100]

He's the reason that ninja movies from the 80's are still awesome.

[mdiem]

Oh the nostalgia of the 1980s-era ninja movie...

[mmaguy79]

Please Sho, give us Ninja IV!!!

[jermaineonealnumber7]

@mmaguy79 Great idea! But I hope they leave the exorcism out of it.

Sho was a real bad ass in Ninja Assassin. Loved the movie.

[KingsWorld2010]

Sho Kosugi = is the Last Ninja!

[KingsWorld2010]

Sho Kosugi = is the Last Ninja!

[MrDarkninja79]

Sho Kosugi is one the last few TRUE remaining Ninja Masters!! I still have a letter that he wrote me that said he grew up studying Iga-Ryu Ninjutsu and also he gave me an autographed picture as well!! As a Ninjutsu practitioner myself for many years, I can see that his skills in his movies and demonstrations are very authentic Ninjutsu skills!! Way to go Sho!!

[totojpx]

SHO KOSUGI KING of all NINJAS or SHINOBI and JAPANESE martial arts. I like youre movies specially the revenge of the ninja,ninja 3 the domination,and ninja assasin i hope you have many movies and your successor KANE KOSUGI.SHO KOSUGI youre my favorite actor deadlier than storm shadow and snake eyes

[warrior288]

[jakeisdead]

[totojpx]

[ShoKosugiTheNinja]

[HolyMercenaryT]

Sho Kosugi=king of all ninjas

[javiermetalero]

so many memories!,...,,, thanks for uploading!

[southernboi229]

I cant beleive he was in ninja assassins, I watched the movie yesterday and didnt notice, Im so use to him looking like this or young If i may add I couldnt even recognize him in the movie. But if you are a nija fan then you will love the movie

[majin2912]

I still have a handwritten letter from him that I got from him when I wrote to him as a kid asking him if he trained anyone in ninjutsu. Very generous person.

[ilovejapan888]

sho kosugi for wwe raw!!!

[CulturePeaceForever]

Wow,that's the first time I've seen him smile....!!! Kosugi san answers all the truths about the Japanese Ninjitsu,good interview!

[letmesee321123]

SHO KOSUGI! YEAH MAN

[mobyrain]

what about tadashi yamashita he played a good ninja in the 80s

[TheRoyalty10]

cant wait for ninja assassins to come out sho gonna be in it..

[mahadragon]

Fo Sho!

[shevegen]

I guess he was the only japanese in the 80s to really come close to being a "ninja", although personally I thought that Hiroyuki Sanada was more elegant in his moves.

But Sho was much more authentic in the moves.

[LucPFT]

I prefer Ichikawa Raizo myself.. but he was in the 60's!

[TheRoyalty10]

hell yea i remember him classica ur a ninja fan i see

[hekemushi]

awsome sho san

[kugfujoe]

Correct Strangerdanger1977. He is the last of the traditionally trained Master Ninja. I think he was seriously underrated in the 80's due to Bruce Lee and those other guys. Koga and Iga fought but nowadays it is more of a family priide/competition that still exists.

[thorazine666]

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SH1N081]

sho is incredible.

[SylvesterTC]

Thanks for the upload!!!

[Strangerdanger1977]

Love Sho Kusogi. Bruce Lee was the 70's martial arts hero but Sho was the hero for the 80's. I actually believed he was a ninja.

[Circusmnkee]

he's awesome, his sons are taking up his mantle....Shane and I believe Kane. They both do the "Ninja Warrior" competitions.

[sw1tched]

but so much for passing on the ninja awesomeness to Kane the superior of the 2....Sho and Kane don't talk to each other and have went different ways for 5-6 years now.....saw a japanese interview recently with sho and he called his son a coward......ouch

[Robin075]

he was trained in ninjitsu. when he was growing up. he would go to see his neighbour who would teach him

[grekito]

@Strangerdanger1977 Too Me! He still is:)

[Cs82Hun]

@grekito

You'r not alone there i think ;-)

[deadsurfkiss]

Where does the Koga and Iga fit in? Are they forms of Ninjitsu or were they tribes or families? I've heard the names but can't find any info on them.

[ANARCHYACE]

they were ninja villages and clans if you look up iga village on youtube you will find more about them

[FUKCFEAR]

im glad i found this..i grew up on pray for death. were real poor and didnt have very many movies but on one recorded tape i had rambo2 rocky 4 pray for death and better off dead. id watch that tape over n over my whole childhood of course when i wasnt kickin butt with my gloves or or ninja suit haha

[Notung69]

Three main Ninpo Orgs. Bujinkan, Genbukan, and Jinekan.

[sanddocon]

i seen all this flims when i was a kid

[floresed]

Sho Kosugi is a true Ninja Master with amazing fighting skills. I miss seeing his Ninja movies. I hope he still plans to make "Return of the Ninja". It seems that the movie is on hold for now.

[SammySteele]

Hopefully we'll get some good Kosugi fightin' in Ninja Assassin.

[SkullCowboy333]

Sho is the real deal.

[loozerguy79]

they need to make shows like this that feature real martial artist

[leiefilm]

ther's noe money in those kind of movies anymore,look at the stars that used to be in those martial arts movies.most of them has found otherwyas to make money.But a few of them havn't yet realized that they're era is over.like van damme and steven segal.

But remember these movies from my chilhood days.we watch em over and over
