Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on December 21, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Masahiro Motoki! From your unforgettable performance in "Departures," where you gracefully turned funeral preparations into an art form (who knew embalming could be so poetic?), you've consistently amazed us with your talent and charm. Your ability to bring depth and humor to every role is truly timeless.

Here's wishing you another year filled with success, laughter, and perhaps fewer scenes involving coffins—unless they're award-winning again! Keep inspiring us all with your incredible performances; may this birthday be as memorable as the characters you've brought to life on screen. Cheers to many more years of cinematic brilliance!
