Last Samurai be damned
And here is my hastily-conceived and non-exhaustive list of:
The greatest Japanese film characters of all time!
Kuni
UHF
Defining moment: evil goons are about to dispose of George and Stanley when they hear a noise from a cupboard marked "supplies." Upon opening said cupboard, they discover Kuni and his karate cohorts, who yell "SUPLISE!" in unison, before unleashing some karate beatdown.
Gedde Watanabe probably put Japan back ten years with this role.
Subzero
The running man
"And now out first stalker of the evening, a CADRE trophy champion with
over thirty life-time kills. Let's welcome the incredible ice-man who
slices his opponents limb from limb into quivering, bloody sushi,
professor Subzero!"
The entire Tokyo team
Rollerball
Anyone that's ever seen this film will remember the brutal slow-motion sequence where three of these guys ambush Moonpie during the game and bash his head in. Dark, dark stuff.
More to follow, as and when I get round to watching some more old-school classics.

How about shortlong form Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or the kid with the Slick Shoes and other useless inventions from The Goonies.
Don't know if these are actually japanese could be any Pan-Asian country.
They all look the same to me.

I thought his name was Shortround. And he's not on the list because he wasn't particularly good or funny. Same goes for that racist cipher from the Goonies.
It is Short Round I stand corrected. Okay what about that bloke out that film where all those blokes are fighting and then they turn into monsters and have sex with each other.
I might have dreamed it.
