Troy Delaine Sep 11 2025 5:53 pm By far and away the most significant and moving Ogami Itto ever in the series or movies. Incredible depth and feeling while being traditionally subtle and subdued. He exemplified everything and all aspects of Itto and his powerful love and dedication to his son and their quest. Bravo!

Christopher Ahrens Dec 06 2024 6:30 pm While not a veteran viewer of Japanese movies or television, my preference has been toward well acted, written and staged productions (credit the production crew), To me, this actor stands out for his ability to portray the depth and intensity for the character and position portrayed. And not just for a few seconds but for minutes at a time. And then, ‘shift gears’ to a more humorous aspect as the script demands. A highly self-disciplined and professional actor. I don’t know how he continued in the more strenuous martial arts roles, certainly accomplishing more physically than I could at the same age. Thank you Mr. Kitaoji for being a joy to watch!

Evanne Oct 06 2022 10:21 pm A veteran actor in the acting world.

I like him in Hanzawa Naoki series as the Sachou chairman.

I hope he doesnt retire anytime soon and hope to see him in more corporate drama.
