I love how he speaks Japanese because he thinks English is ‘dirty’.

His character is unnecessary and annoying. LOST is really sucking so far this season.

He was very good in “Sunshine”.

LOL, the guy in blue is thinking like “No! I mustn’t trip over, I’d look so uncool if an Asian guy kicks my ass”… He looks like totally resisting.. also with the reaction of talking just right after the last move, it looks likes as if was thinking “Must resist! But must not make enemy!” LOL

I m confused about his level of english. I mean…
he had a few english lines in Sunshine… but then after he spoke pure Japanese in Rush Hour 3… How much english can he speak?

Otherwise good for him to break into the American media.

Karisu

He’s fluent in English and has rather good pronunciation. You can hear him when he’s practicing the fight choreography.
