Keiji Sato has now been tagged (identified by my missus, who is Japanese).<br><br>I've written in his name in the Japanese format i.e. surname first, and added him to the listings of the three other films named above.<br>I've also added in role descriptions based on the posts above. If anyone knows the more accurate roles, please advise.<br><br>Further, there are four other actors listed in Hitman which have four or five character names and, therefore, could possibly be Japanese.<br>Again, my missus has helpfully done some identifications.<br><br>Taken in order, here are the five actors listed in Hitman whose names may be or are Japanese.<br><br>1. Sato Keiji - already commented upon.<br><br>2. Isuzu Nokoto. My source states that this is an unusual name, but is identifiably Japanese and female.<br><br>3. Sahara Kenji. Valid male Japanese name.<br><br>4. Surname translates as Kawabe. Personal name is strange i.e. not a proper Japanese name. I have not translated this name.<br><br>5. Surname Natsuki. Personal name is strange i.e. not a proper Japanese name. I have not translated this name, although the last syllable translates as "Ko", and denotes a female name.<br><br>
