Ken Watanabe - Autograph
I search from the web and find a number of Ken's autograph.

I think Ken's autograph does not change much so far.  Only that recently he added his English name 'KEN' in it.  Looks pretty good.

I find that Ken is having a very stylish hand-writing too.  Especially when writing in the Chinese paint-brush.  Agree?

I really hope that I could have one from Ken...better addressed to me only...ha~!
I think this one should be viewed up side down...
See?  Ken has added his English name 'Ken' in the autography.
Ken signed for the new drama 'Utsuwa'.  Signed in using paint-brush and on a wooden block.  So special! Ken signed it for a radio programme.
It is a message written by Ken.  I do not know what exactly he was writing, but I think is something about to encourage one to be tough and strong during downturns of life.  Something meaningful.
I think this one was signed for his drama 'Pianist' quite a long time ago.
Thanks so much to mcedar, a Ken fan living in Tokyo, doing the translation for me. Here it is:

Andy, you have fought many strong rivals.  Please fight with this enemy with your strength and toughness.  I am looking forward to seeing your smiling face.
( note: the Chinese character for a rival "teki" also means enemy)

Ken wrote the message to Andy Hug who was a famous karate fighter. He died of acute leukemia in 2000. In the above message Ken mentions the illness as "this enemy."

Who is Andy Hug?  See here:
