He grew up with parents engaged in a bohemian lifestyle - his mother often drove Asano around while listening to Led Zeppelin and his father was a painter. At school, Asano often felt like an outcast, sometimes being taunted as a "gaijin" (foreigner), because of his unique physical features (his maternal grandfather was American. As a teen, Tadanobu Asano made his acting debut in the 1988 drama "Kanpachi Sensei," thanks in large part to his father's urging. Two years later, he made his big-screen acting debut in Joji Matusuoka’s teen comedy Swimming Upstream (1990). On the set of the Shunji Iwai's 1995 film Picnic, Tadanobu Asano met his wife, pop singer & actress Chara. Since that time, Tadanobu Asano has worked steadily in the film world and has become one of the most sought after film actors of his generation. Tadanobu Asano made his directorial debut with the short film Tori in 2004 and then directed a segment in the 2008 omnibus film R246 Story. While gaining professional recognition and popularity as an actor, the multi-talented Asano is also a musician, playing in the band Peace Pill, Mach 1.67 with film director Shogo Ishii, and using the stage name "Bunodata" for his solo music career ("Bunodata" being a reverse scramble of the syllables in his name). Asano has often expressed his fondness for the British punk the Sex Pistols. Beyond music, Asano is also an avid painter, poet, and calligrapher (even drawing the calligraphy for the intertitles in Electric Dragon 80000V). In 2008, The Smithsonian’s Freer-Sackler Gallery in Washington D.C. held a five film restrospective of Asano's work titled "Rebel, Artist, Superstar: The Films of Tadanobu Asano." The films presented were Vital, Last Life in the Universe, Sad Vacation, Tori, and Bright Future, with Tadanobu Asano attending the screenings for the first three films. On July 18th 2009 Tadanobu Asano and Chara announced their divorce. His daughter is model and actress SUMIRE and son is model and actor Sato Himi.

Shinya Tsukamoto directed this 16-mm sci fi horror called Tetsuo - a story of a human being who becomes a monster of metal. This radical auteur quickly established his place as one of the most original and compelling filmmakers in Japan. He also contributed to the body horror genre predominated by the films of David Cronenburg.
Born in Shibuyu Tokyo on New Years Day 1960, Tsukamoto’s enthusiasm for film began with the Super-8 format at the tender age of fourteen. In the late 1970’s he built mobile theatres in Tokyo to showcase his work. Graduating from the fine arts department of Nihon University he spent four years working for a commercial film studio before leaving to pursue his ambitions in the theatre, beginning his own troupe, the ‘Kaijyu’ (phantom). He soon returned to film production, gaining success with Tetsuo and taking a second intuitive look at the same subject with Tetsuo II Body Hammer this time on a much larger scale in spectacular colour, which made excellent use of his experimental and provocative ideas.
Tsukamoto brings an electric energy to the screen increasingly pushing his characters into situations of intense trauma, unafraid of presenting the viewer with imagery and narrative that explores the darker side of the psyche - it’s capability for violence and destruction. Exciting and intriguing he approaches the subject of body mutations with a fresh subversive eye, self-mutilation and the metamorphosis of both body and intellect are just some of the themes explored in his work. In Iron man the main protagonist battles through Paranoia and hallucinatory states of mind as metal ravages his physical body. In a ‘A Snake of June’ the female attains her sexual peak of freedom after being traumatised by a stranger who is threatening to blackmail her.
Tsukamoto’s editing skills are uniquely his own; he skilfully communicates the movement and speed of the human body. He captured the force and energy of the boxer in ‘Tokyo Fist’, a bloody and potent analysis of boxing. In ‘Bullet Ballet’ a man searches for retribution, after the violent suicide of his girlfriend he becomes fixated with the image and power of the gun. Merging many styles and influences, Tsukamoto adds a fascinating complexity to his work; from animation techniques that echo the work of Jan Svankmajer and the strangeness of David Lynch, to styles showing his theatrical expertise. An accomplished actor himself, Tsukamoto appears in many of his films, as well as an appearance in Ichi the Killer directed by Miike Takashi.
