    金城 武 is an Okinawan family name and Kaneshiro is a popular surname[1]. In Kanji, 金城 is Kaneshiro and 武 is Takeshi (given name), with Japanese readings. He appears as 金城 武 (Kaneshiro Takeshi) on Japanese media. As for Chinese surname, 金城 (Jīnchéng), double-character surname, is rare in the Chinese language. In the credit shown in movies, his name often appears as 金城 武 Takeshi Kaneshiro[2] (neither 金城武 nor 金 城武).

    [edit] Biography

    With a Tawainese mother and a Japanese father from Okinawa, Kaneshiro was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, and is a Japanese citizen (nationality).[3]

    He has two brothers (one 7 years older and one 1 year older). In a recent interview in Hong Kong, 23 Dec 2007, Takeshi Kaneshiro mentioned that he has one elder brother.[4] After being bullied at a regular Taiwanese high school, the Gaoxong Preparatory School, over his mixed heritage, he enrolled at English-based Taipei American School, which enabled him to converse in English, making him effectively multi-lingual considering his fluency in Mandarin, Taiwanese (Min Nan) (his first-spoken language), and Japanese. As a result of his varied background, Kaneshiro can speak with varying degrees of fluency in English, Taiwanese (Min Nan), Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese. It was while he was studying there that he began doing TV commercials, and he decided to quit school in order to pursue a singing and acting career.

    [edit] Career

    In 1992, Kaneshiro made his singing debut, entering the business with the nickname Aniki, meaning 'older brother' in Japanese. His debut album was Heartbreaking Night (1992). Contracted to EMI, he wrote many of his own Mandarin and Cantonese songs. The following year, his popularity propelled him into acting and he no longer produces any commercial music. He later stated that acting comes to him more naturally, while his singing capabilities are not up to scratch and best left to the "professionals," including his favorite singer Jackie Cheung. Kaneshiro maintains that singing is only his hobby.

    His first movie was Executioners (1993) and this was followed by the critically acclaimed Wong Kar-Wai film Chungking Express (1994) and a string of other Hong Kong movies. Later, Kaneshiro starred in the highly successful Japanese TV mini-series God, Please Give Me More Time (1998), allowing him to branch into Japanese movies such as Returner (2002). Kaneshiro's work, however is more heavily concentrated in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. He also became well known in the video game industry portraying the samurai warrior, Samanosuke, in the Capcom hit, Onimusha. In a June 2007 article on the movie site Ain't It Cool News, it was revealed that Takeshi Kaneshiro will be in the Onimusha movie, reprising his role as Samanosuke.[5] This, however, has not been confirmed by Kaneshiro nor his agency.

    Kaneshiro is often praised for having "chameleon-like" acting skills due to his ability to adapt to a wide variety of roles. He became a superstar playing oddball and forlorn characters and has proven impossible to typecast. Director Peter Chan, of the Chinese musical Perhaps Love, which Kaneshiro starred in, has been quoted as saying "I am willing to exchange my 11 nominations for the nomination of Takeshi for Best Actor award. My greatest regret is Takeshi Kaneshiro wasn't nominated." Despite this, he continued to receive rave reviews for a spectacular performance of a vulnerable yet angry and ultimately maturing character.

    Outside of the entertainment business, Kaneshiro has acted as a spokesperson and model for Prada in Asia (1998) as well as Lifecard credit card company, Honda, Sundiro Motorcycles, Lipice lips moisturizer, SonyEricsson, Pocari Sweat soft drink, Morinaga chocolate, Volvic, GEOS language school, Petronas oil company, Mitsubishi, Rice Burger, One2Free (HK), and Kiwi cold drink.

    About his personal life Kaneshiro has been quoted as saying “If one day I get married and have kids, I will probably be one of those men who really care for the family. I will eat at home everyday, and help with the chores and take care of the children.”[6]

  • What I have Learned As I matured

    2008-05-23 6:40AM / 標準BLOG

    As I've Matured...   


    I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is
    stalk them and hope they panic and give in...


    I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets.



    I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just
    jackasses.



    I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. 


    I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. 

    I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others -
    they are more screwed up than you     think. 

     I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.


    I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off. 


    I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished. 


     I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things.    

      I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back.


      I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity. 

    I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it. 

    I've learned that we are responsible for what we do,
    unless we are celebrities.     

    I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural
    stupidity.     

    I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working
    in your house, one of your kids did it     



    I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity. 

     
    I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and
    all the less important ones just never go away.
    And the real pains in the ass are permanent.
