Taro Yamamoto
In a business that burns through people quickly, Taro Yamamoto is a long-distance runner whose accumulated screen time beats that of most leading names. 'Battle Royale' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Shogo Kawada (Boy #5). 'My Way' is the other credit most often cited. Steady employment, rather than one breakout, gives the career its shape.
