What's After the Movie
Ryo Kase
Ryo Kase, born on November 9, 1974, in Yokohama, is a renowned Japanese actor. He started his career with a debut in Sogo Ishii's Gojoe: Spirit War Chronicle back in 2000. His career skyrocketed when he starred in the critically acclaimed film 'I Just Didn't Do It' in 2007, directed by Masayuki Suo. For his outstanding performance, he won the Best Actor Award at the 31st Japan Academy Prize and the 2nd Asia Film Award among other domestic and international film awards. Kase has also made a significant contribution in Takeshi Kitano’s hit crime genre film Outrage in 2010, a popular movie which competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. The film proved to be a major success, racking up 634 million yen at the Japan Box office and prompting two sequels.
Kase further exhibited his acting prowess in his portrayal of the historical figure, Oda Nobunaga, a charismatic military leader in the 2023 Japanese film 'Kubi' about the Honnō-ji Incident. His performance was highly praised at the Cannes Film Festival and sparked debate in Japan, as it diverged greatly from the public image of Nobunaga. Throughout his career, Kase has taken advantage of his English fluency and participated in international films from various countries in Asia, Europe, and America. He earned accolades for his role in Clint Eastwood's film 'Letters from Iwo Jima'. He has also appeared in films such as 'Like Someone in Love', 'Tokyo!', 'Restless', 'Hill of Freedom', 'Silence' and 'Bel Canto'. He has won several awards throughout his career, including the Best Actor award at the 14th Asia Film Awards.
