My apologies if I have spelled any of the above Japanese words or names incorrectly! My first language is Welsh, and although I am trying to learn Japanese, it is a rather slow process - mainly because I have a very bad memory!!

Photographs on this page have come from my own Hiroyuki Sanada collection, and from a couple of magazines. The information for the biography has been acquired from browsing through several sites. I have written to a few to ask permission to use bits of their work, but have had no reply! Therefore my apologies if I have not linked to your site, I will gladly give you credit and link to your pages if you let me know.
