Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城武; pronounced ''Jin Chengwu'' in Chinese) is an actor of mixed Japanese-Chinese heritage (his father is a Ryukyuan from Okinawa and his mother is a Han Chinese from Taiwan). He is multi-lingual, as you might expect, and known for being a very handsome guy. As his father is Ryukyuan, the traditional Ryukyuan pronunciation of his surname is actually 'Kanagusuku' or 'Kanegusuku'.
