Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on December 13, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Satoshi Tsumabuki! From stealing hearts as a synchronized-swimming teenager in "Waterboys," to proving your mastery of drama, comedy and everything in between—your incredible talent deserves its own Academy Award just for staying effortlessly timeless. Seriously though, who else could turn dolphin shorts into an unforgettable cinematic moment?

Celebrating another trip around the sun means acknowledging your endless charm—from captivating performances like "Rage" to recent outstanding roles continually reminding us why you’re Japan's acting treasure. Wishing you plenty more epic films ahead (though please steer clear of sequined swim trunks)—cheers to many more years of being fabulous!
