Michael Wincott

 I decided to split my previous HiroyukiSanada-and-MichaelWincott.com site, as it was becoming cumbersome, and I was also quickly running out of webspace! 

So you will now find the Michael Wincott part of this site at:-

I am happy to have adopted Charlie C. - a donkey who lives at The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys in Birmingham, England. This Charitable Trust was founded by Dr Svendsen, MBE, DVMS, and is run by her team of dedicated staff. Click on the hyperlink above to see some of the donkeys, and learn more about the work of the EST and The Donkey Sanctuary.

Please note that my site has not been officially endorsed in any way, so I unfortunately have no contact with Hiroyuki Sanada or his representatives. It is therefore pointless for anyone to send me mail to forward to him, or in fact anyone else featured on this website, as I have no way of forwarding it, so it will unfortunately not reach them.

There are many reasons why people design their own websites, some do it for advertising of a company, themselves, services or their hobbies. Mine is simply a testament of my admiration and appreciation of multi award winning actor, composer, singer, musician and martial artist, Hiroyuki Sanada. Although I have only discovered him in recent years, he has been around as an actor and musician for a long time, especially in Japan, where as a protégé of Shinichi 'Sonny' Chiba he became a teen idol in the 80s. By now Sanada san has an extremely long and impressive list of varied movies, theatrical performances and records to his name.

My thanks to the following people 

• First of all thanks to my son Arfon for his composing of some of the midi files, recording the wav files and for his critical eye when I kept asking "does this look okay", and "which looks best, this or this" etc. (I must have bored him senseless at times!).

After years at University studying music and composition, Arfon's musical abilities have not only improved, but diversified. A CD of his latest music is available, and is really lovely to listen and relax to. It has been highly acclaimed both in the UK, and in the United States.

If you would like to purchase some of his latest composition, which is based on a novel by Kate, Lady G., set in 12th Century Medieval England, please leave a private message in my guest-book, together with your contact email address, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. 

*******

• To my great pal Kate for giving me support and a hypothetical kick in the butt when it was needed. Also for letting me lapse somewhat in my e-mails while I worked on this website! You're the greatest pal Giz!

*******

• Thanks also to Peter Read at Coleg Menai in Bangor for teaching me how to design a web site - I thoroughly enjoyed your classes Peter, and learned a lot. Hope you like the result of your teaching!

*******

• Thanks to the people who have designed some of the lovely backgrounds, graphics and midis that adorn my pages - I have linked back to your sites wherever possible. I have two or three graphics, backgrounds and midis on my site that I can no longer find the sites where I got them, so if I have not linked back to your site, please accept my apologies and let me know who  you are, so that I can add your link to the relevant page. 

*******

• Thanks to the people who have contributed some of the photos for my site, especially those people who have been kind enough to send me some of the Hiroyuki Sanada photos. 

*******

• A special thanks to Callista Maris who has been most helpful in giving me tips with the Japanese language, and designing Japanese buttons etc. especially for me to use on my Hiroyuki Sanada pages - more pages will be added in the near future using her backgrounds and buttons etc. So if you are looking for any Japanese artwork, buttons and backgrounds, you need look no further than Nikko no Daitenshi's site - click on the button below to visit the ssite and see loads of lovely backgrounds and more.

• Thank You - the visitor! ... for checking out my website - I hope you enjoy it. I shall add updates and changes to this site from time to time as I receive them.

*******

• Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank Hiroyuki Sanada, for creating superb characters, and music that has inspired me to design this site. It has been quite a while since I lavished this much attention on anyone! So if you read this, thank you, and may you have many more years of bringing these great, varied and unforgettable characters and songs into our lives. 

love from

Lyn
