Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on August 24, 1960)

Happy birthday to the extraordinary Takashi Miike—the visionary director whose films always delight, shock, and amaze! Whether it's the unforgettable chaos of "Audition," or the wild ride we had through your samurai extravaganza "13 Assassins," your unique style continually inspires fans worldwide (and keeps them awake at night!).

May you celebrate today by topping even your most outrageous cinematic scenes—perhaps fewer flying limbs than in "Ichi the Killer" and more laughter as surprising as your delightful cameo appearances. Here's wishing you endless creativity, long filmmaking adventures ahead, and many more years of leaving audiences bewildered yet thoroughly entertained!
