3 unusual facts about Hiroki Hasegawa


Hiroki Hasegawa

His most recent film performance can be seen in Sion Sono’s Why Don’t You Play in Hell? as the young, passionate, and slightly deranged film-director wannabe, Don Hirata.

Trained as a stage actor at the Bungaku-za after graduating from Chuo University, he first began to appear on Japanese TV in small roles in 2008, and then in films in 2011.

He is a versatile actor, who can play a romantic heartthrob (Second Virgin), a disillusioned young man full of ennui who awakens to the meaning of life through his medical practices in a depopulated island (Kumo no Kaidan), and a tragic samurai whose integrity and sincerity work against him (Yae no Sakura).
