Speaking of " ninja ", what can everyone think of? ninjutsu ? sneak into? Assassination? Or is it the sound of two knives fighting each other? The real ninja was born in the Kamakura era and disappeared in the Edo era. The reason for disappearing was nothing more than that the times no longer needed them. Ninja has almost changed from a profession to a title, and the legendary stories and adaptations of this subject add a sense of mystery to it. Today I am going to introduce a modern ninja - Taku Sakaguchi. Taku Sakaguchi is an actor, an action guide, a ninja, and a broadcaster. He does everything and can even use an assassination technique called "Wave". He can be called a "contemporary miscellaneous scholar".

Acting Road
Relatively speaking, the most well-known is Sakaguchi Takumi as an actor. He made his official debut in 1998 when he was 23 years old. Fortunately, Taku Sakaguchi was soon discovered. He got the opportunity to star in a movie two years after his debut. It was "VERSUS" directed by Kitamura Ryuhei. The film combines elements such as science fiction, zombies, fatalism, etc. Gunfight, armed fighting, and hand-to-hand fighting throughout the whole process. The low budget of 30 million yen and the strong personal style make "VERSUS" a Cult film.
"VERSUS" is a very alternative action film. The film does not explain the name of any character. The audience only knows that the protagonist's number as a criminal is KSC2-303
Starting in "VERSUS" allows practitioners in the circle to see Takumi Sakaguchi's strength as an action actor, and Ryuhei Kitamura is his noble person. In Kitamura Ryuhei's works, you can always meet some old acquaintances, such as Hiroshi Kazuya, Ichishi Oba, Kenji Matsuda, and Takumi Sakaguchi became one of them after starring in "VERSUS". After collaborating with "VERSUS", Taku Sakaguchi also participated in "Jam Films" (short films "the messenger - "Yuanya"), "AZUMI" and "ALIVE" filmed by Ryuhei Kitamura. In "The Last Battle of Godzilla", Taku Sakaguchi also played an X-star man, but he is also responsible for some of the action guidance of the film, but he has few opportunities to play as the protagonist.
With the experience of working with Kitamura Ryuhei, Taku Sakaguchi is also well-known in the industry. After "Godzilla's Last Battle", he also filmed "Kui! ! Male School", "The Great Weapon", "DEATH TRANCE", "Kamen Rider Kabuto" and other film and television works. The movies starring Taku Sakaguchi are basically adapted from comics or novels, and the ones produced are basically R-level heavy-tasting action movies. In addition, Takumi Sakaguchi also serves as an action director in many movies and TV series. People in Japan often comment on Taku Sakaguchi's acting style is fixed and violent in films, and this is true. But I think it's a good thing to find a job that I'm good at.
Sakaguchi Takumi played the role of the "King of the Alien Essence" Reiji Nogi in "Kamen Rider Kabuto". He is a model of "the strongest ability when he does not transform"
In March 2013, Sakaguchi Takumi announced his retirement because his experience in filming the movie "Mad Musashi" made him feel very distressed. The selling point of this movie is that it has a 77-minute long shot, and a large number of action scenes were filmed in one go. It’s a pity that this movie, which was scheduled to be released in 2013, has been in an unfinished state since the filming was completed. Later, Taku Sakaguchi announced his return as "TAK∴" in May 2014. Later, when he was the action director, he was named "Ma Minroro". "RE:BORN", which brought Taku Sakaguchi back to the public's vision, was filmed after his return.
The director of "RE:BORN" was Yuji Shimomiura in the action guide of "VERSUS". Takumi Sakaguchi plays a warrior who was once a special force, code-named "Ghost". The plot of the movie is clichéd "Enemy comes to the door and breaks the protagonist's peaceful life", but the action scenes are very exciting. Friends who have watched "RE:BORN" must be impressed by the fighting scenes in the jungle. The movement of rotating the shoulder blades to quickly pull the body to avoid bullets is even more novel. In addition to the success of "RE:BORN" as an action film, in addition to the efforts of director and photography, the assassination technique "Wave" learned by Takumi Sakaguchi is also a great contribution.

From martial arts to assassination
Like most people, Sakaguchi Taku was also an innocent and cute child when he was a child, and his opportunity to learn fighting was also a childhood experience. Takumi Sakaguchi was bullied at school when he was in elementary school. My mother went to school to argue several times, but it didn't work. The disappointed mother decided to change the environment for her child, so the family moved from the group to a residential building, and Takumi Sakaguchi also transferred to school.
After moving, Taku Sakaguchi made new friends in the local area and boasted in front of these children that he was good at fighting. But one day Taku Sakaguchi was targeted by the local bully (the bully is also a child) and fought. Taku Sakaguchi was powerless at that time, and in the end, the children stood in front of the bully together to calm the storm. Afterwards, the children friendly and said to Taku Sakaguchi, "Atuo, let's play together in the future."
Although these friends are very tolerant of Taku Sakaguchi, he himself cannot swallow his breath. After returning home, Taku Sakaguchi vented his anger against the wall, and stopped when he almost felt bloody. At that time, he had only one idea - to become stronger. The next day he went to the Shaolin Temple Boxing Gym. Taku Sakaguchi came into contact with various fighting skills in the following period and began to learn Bajiquan in high school. Takuya Sakaguchi also revealed that his high school is on the mountain and it takes about 4 hours to ride a bike every day. In the long run, he may have achieved the purpose of exercise invisibly.
Japanese Shaolin Temple boxing is a martial art improved and taught by the 21st generation of the orthodox successor of the North Shaolin Yoshiwa Men Fist after he brought it back to China after his defeat in Japan. Takumi Sakaguchi, who has a martial arts foundation in China, did not waste more time on going to school, but had a clear understanding of himself and wanted to be an action actor. The young Taku Sakaguchi was still worried about joining Yoshimoto Hiroyuki or JAC (now renamed "JAE", or "Japanese Action Entertainment Company"). In the end, he went to JAC because his mother especially liked Hiroyuki Sanada, a subsidiary of JAC.
Sana Hiroyuki's most well-known character may be the General of Guangming in "The Untamed".
Takura Taku's next experience is as described in the previous paragraph. He met Kitamura Ryuhei and Shimomura Yuji, and was the protagonist, and was also responsible for action guidance. Although Takumi Sakaguchi has achieved success in his acting career, he has not stopped studying martial arts.
Taku Sakaguchi has ninja qualifications and is an absolute "certified ninja". He once asked the leader of Iganori to ask techniques and learned how to use shuriken and sword. Taku Sakaguchi also asked him a question: "What is a modern ninja?" After a while of thinking, the leader replied: "It should be a killer."
In addition to ninjutsu, Taku Sakaguchi learned an assassination technique called Wave under the founder Yoshiki Inagawa. The characteristic of Wave is that the body can react faster through the movement of the scapula, and then respond quickly with judgment. The protagonist of the movie "RE:BORN" shaking his shoulders is precisely due to Wave. Combining pistols and claw knives will make Wave more threatening, while zero-distance battles make it full of viewing, so the action scenes of "RE:BORN" are so novel.
Modern Ninja
Sakaguchi Takumi started operating related channels more than a year ago. When he was founded, he uploaded mostly self-defense techniques and exercise methods. Now his channel has more videos on his channel to communicate skills with other genres of fighters . Jeet Kune Do Ishii Togo, Matsutaro Karate Asai Xinghiro, active MMA fighters Asakura Hai, and Yaji Yusuke, they all recorded videos as guests and Sakaguchi. The most interesting thing in the channel is the exchange and exchange of combat techniques and fighting techniques. Through their narration and demonstration, the audience can intuitively understand the concepts and key points of each genre, and can also see the practical application of fighting skills.
Sakaguchi Takura was breathing rapidly after arguing with Asakura Hiro. In addition to knowing how to adjust his breathing, the age difference between the two is also a big factor
Now the subtitles and editing of Sakaguchi Takura Channel videos are more like variety shows, but it is a bit rustic in one year, especially the sound quality
Sakaguchi Takura's popularity is not particularly high, but he is definitely a qualified action actor. After the filming of "Mad Musashi" was completed in 2011, Taku Sakaguchi had been trying to find ways to complete post-production. Finally, he started crowdfunding for "Mad Musashi" after the launch of "RE:BORN", aiming to complete the post-production special effects, sound effects, and music production of the film. "Mad Musashi" was originally a 15-minute short film at the beginning of the project. After the original idea was stranded, he decided to change to a long film and had the idea of shooting action scenes with long shots. Finally, the "Mad Musashi", which has been finally completed after 9 years, announced that it will be screened in some Japanese theaters on August 21 this year, and will be released in the future. I'm looking forward to what surprises this modern ninja in his 40s will bring to fans.
