The son of actor Xie Kosugi, Kane, at first glance is an exemplary actor of Japanese militants. Only now in Japan itself he is considered a charming foreigner, who skillfully performs the most complicated tricks. How it happened and all the interesting facts about the life of the artist can be found by reading this article.
early years
Takeshi Kane Kosugi was born on October 11, 1974 in the city of Angels in Los Angeles, California (United States of America). The guy’s father is the famous actor and martial artist Xie Kosugi. I did not choose the name of my son by chance - he named it in honor of his favorite movie.
In general, the relationship between the parent and the child in the Kosugi family did not work out in the best way. Kane at one time chose to become a world-famous actor, instead of devoting himself to his father and graduating from the Institute of Martial Arts. This caused a long silence and a series of public insults (Xie once said on television that his son was a coward).
In 2009, disagreements faded into the background, because then Kane had a wedding, which was attended by Xie.
The young actor interested many directors and agents with his professional data. Kosugi has a black belt in karate, excellent command of difficult judo, wushu and taekwondo techniques.
Career
The young man made his debut in cinema in 1983, when he was not even ten years old. I tried myself in many areas: stuntman, voice acting for video games and direct participation in films. In the first action movie "Revenge of the Ninja" played his father.
In Japan, he began acting in 1993, when he appeared in a television series called "Dragon Spirit." Later, Kane Kosugi got the main role in two parts of the movie "King of Fighters". In addition to cinema, the man was noted in shows, advertisements and several videos. For example, Sasuke, or the more famous Ninja Warrior. So far, Kane Kosugi is the only American to reach the finals. Nevertheless, the actor did not rise above rank 98, so he stopped participating in the project.
