Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on July 20, 1952)

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Keiko Matsuzaka! Ever since your captivating performance in "The Gate of Youth," audiences everywhere realized you weren't just opening gates—you were kicking them wide open and strutting right through with grace, emotion, and style.

Winning The Hochi Film Award for Best Actress was only one highlight among countless extraordinary moments in your career. You've brought charm not just on-screen but into our hearts too—proving age is merely a number (preferably lower than box-office numbers!). May this birthday be filled with laughter brighter than stage lights—and applause louder even than at award ceremonies!
