Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on July 23, 1942)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Hiroki Matsukata! From battling mythical creatures in "The Magic Serpent" back in 1966, to chasing down criminals as a gritty detective in "Doberman Cop," you've always kept us entertained with your charisma and fearless performances.

Even decades later, you continue impressing audiences—your powerful role among samurai warriors in Takashi Miike's acclaimed film "Thirteen Assassins" (2010) proves you're timelessly cool. May this birthday bring laughter worthy of your epic adventures on screen—and may no giant serpents or rogue assassins crash the party!

Here's wishing you another year filled with excitement, joy, and cinematic magic!
