- Takehiro Hira is an internationally-renowned actor that passionately embodies all roles encompassing a wide scope of genres.
Takehiro will next be seen in Robert Schwentke's Snake Eyes, alongside Henry Golding, Andrew Koji and Úrusla Corberó. Takehiro will be seen as one of the villains in this G.I. Joe spin off. Paramount is slated to release the film on October 23, 2020.
Last year, Takehiro was seen starring in the Netflix/BBC series Giri/Haji, opposite Kelly Macdonald. The series follows Kenzo Mori (Hira), a detective from Tokyo who scours London for his missing brother, who's been involved with the Yakuza and accused of murder. The Guardian hailed Takehiro's performance as "bone deep" and NPR Fresh Air's John Powers acclaimed the series as "unlike anything else on TV."
Most notably, Takehiro was seen as the role of 'Kazu' in William Olsson drama thriller, Lost Girls and Love Hotels opposite Alexandria Daddario. The film followed Margaret (Daddario), a young Western woman in the midst of losing herself in the bacchanal of nighttime Tokyo. Haunted by memories of her twin brother's descent into madness, Margaret courts danger with her fellow ex-pat misfits in dive bars and love hotels. When she falls for Kazu (Hira), a handsome Japanese gangster, she has a chance at redemption.
