Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on December 10, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Sato Koichi! Like fine sake or your timeless film "Tokarev," you just keep getting better with age. Whether wielding swords dramatically in "When the Last Sword is Drawn" (earning that unforgettable Best Supporting Actor award), or dominating screens big and small—your charisma has never faded.

Cheers to another year of making intense gazes, powerful performances, and characters so compelling they could teach samurai manners classes! May this birthday be packed with even more legendary roles—and fewer duel scenes for safety reasons. Here's hoping directors continue to save all their coolest hats exclusively for you. Happy celebrating!
