Tadanobu Asano, born Tadanobu Sato on November 27, 1973, is a Japanese actor whose eclectic filmography spans the gritty and the grandiose. From the neon-soaked cyberpunk of "Electric Dragon 80.000 V" to the brutal stylization of "Ichi the Killer," and the historical drama of "Zatoichi," Asano deftly navigates genre boundaries. His portrayal of Hogun in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s "Thor" cements his international reach, while his nuanced performances in films like "Bright Future" and "Survive Style 5+" showcase his versatility and depth.
