Take history as a lesson to learn and prosper, use history to understand gains and losses, and use history to clear the wind.
It is a pity that people who live well in small life do not understand this truth, and they cannot even find any description of that tragic event in the history books of their country.
But there is such a Japanese, he faces history squarely, and let more Japanese youth know the real history, he played a variety of "devil" roles in China, he said:
"I don't hate playing 'devils', Japanese people should face history squarely."
He did his best to help China, and during the special period, he and Wang Yibo and others donated 1 million yuan and 130,000 masks to Wuhan.
His name is - Koji Yano.
Koji Yano is a Japanese who is loved by domestic audiences.
But people can't withstand deep pickpocketing, and Koji Yano was also picked up from what he said when he participated in variety shows in Japan in his early years:
"Chinese are not qualified to have dogs because they ignore the dog's urine."
After the incident was exposed, Koji Yano came out to apologize as soon as possible, but everyone did not buy it.
So, what kind of person is Koji Yano in private?
01
Koji Yano's relationship with China originated in 2000.
This year, on the recommendation of his teacher, he came to China from Japan to participate in the filming of the TV series "Eternal Lover", which was his first time to pick a big beam.
This performance opened Yano's eyes, he never thought that the entertainment industry in Japan and China was so different, and the blood and tears of eight years in Japan welled up in his heart.
Koji Yano had no background, and at one point he couldn't even pay tuition when he was in high school.
Seeing that his parents were too tired, after graduating from high school, he went directly to Tokyo to work part-time to subsidize his family. In those years, he worked as a bartender, drove a black car, worked as a waiter, and so on.
Koji Yano was tall and handsome, and he was also low-key, and one day, a guest inadvertently asked him: "Why don't you be an actor?" ”
Hearing this, Koji Yano was stunned in place, he never wanted to enter the entertainment industry, and he did not dare to expect to become a radiant artist, but for the sake of high salary, he was still willing to give it a try.
In this way, Koji came to Tokyo and used the money he saved to sign up for an actor training institution for professional training.
In class, teachers often use the example of actor Kensaku Morita to motivate students not to give up, and hard work will have a good result.
But the reality is cruel, Koji came to the crew after graduating from the training course and couldn't even grab the role, and there are countless actors with the same conditions as him.
He knew he couldn't sit still, so Koji made a bold decision.
One day, Koji came directly to the crew of Kensaku Morita's filming, ran to Kensaku Morita, and plopped down on his knees in front of him: "Senior, I want to act, accept me!" ”
Kensaku Morita was taken aback, but he admired the bold young man and agreed to let Koji follow him.
But no one would have thought that Kensaku Morita had arranged such a job for Koji - driver!
Although Koji Yano was puzzled, he believed in his predecessors and willingly drove for his seniors, and this drive was eight years!
How many eight years does a person have in this life?
Koji Yano has grown from an ignorant young man to a mature middle-aged man, but it is a pity that he has not left anything in the entertainment industry except for his good car skills.
The character who has appeared the longest is the passerby A in "Midnight Bell 3", without any lines.
In the dead of night, Koji Yano wonders: Is he really suitable for this industry? Is it really right to follow Kensaku Morita?
In 2000, the idea of resigning and changing careers peaked, and Koji Yano felt that he should recognize reality.
Heaven was moved by this young man and paved a way for him in China.
02
In 2002, Koji Yano was invited to participate in the historical drama "Proof of Memory", which was a work that changed his fate.
At the shooting scene, Koji Yano's emotions were out of control for a while.
Because war was a particularly vague concept in his growing memory, and his education and real history were completely at odds, Koji Yano couldn't believe that it was true in the face of the cruel behavior of the character "Okada" in the play.
But with the development in China, Koji Yano's three views have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Here, he and the colleagues of the crew seem to be a family, there is no distinction between high and low, the important thing is that the Chinese around him are very kind, and everyone will not generalize.
In the course of the relationship, Koji Yano's suspicions about the war also disappeared, replaced by extreme unrest:
That cruel history is undeniable, and as a Japanese, you should face history correctly.
Therefore, Koji Yano spent most of his time in addition to filming to understand China and do his best to make more Japanese youth face up to history.
But how easy is that?
After the broadcast of "Proof of Memory", Koji Yano first declared: "The film is very good, I hope to broadcast it in Japan." ”
A short sentence caused an uproar on Japanese forums, and netizens directly cursed, and radical words such as "traitor" and "get out of Japan" were heard endlessly.
Koji Yano.
However, no matter what setbacks and criticisms he encountered, he has always been strong enough to make his compatriots face up to history.
Later, he starred in Okamura in "Railway Guerrilla", Yamashima Tsuo in "The Great Knife Cuts Off the Devil's Head", Saito in "Little Soldier Changga" and other roles.
Every time, he can play the cruelty and cunning of the Japanese into three points.
But also because the character image is too single, Koji Yano is physically and mentally exhausted and longs for a new path.
In 2008, God fell in love with him again.
The program group of "Every Day Up" invited him to form the Tiantian Brothers Group with Wang Han, Xiao Wu, Ou Di and Yu Haoming.
The program group, Koji Yano is very open, he can sing, dance, and play treasure, and the entertainment effect is full, because of this role, he has gained more fans, and the audience can't hate him after learning about his experience.
As a result, Koji Yano's film and television variety show blossomed, and in 2011 he was also awarded by the Global Times, and he was named the best foreign artist, which is the first time that the award has been awarded to a Japanese.
Koji Yano finally worked hard and embarked on the highlight of his life.
It's just that this period lasted only a year.
03
The next year, for various reasons, Koji Yano left "Every Day Up" and also left China, and could only return to Japan to develop.
However, he did not forget that history and love of China, and he returned to Japan to play a Chinese, trying to maintain the image of Chinese.
In addition, he began to contribute to the friendly exchanges between China and Japan!
He can't represent all Japanese people, but he is doing his part, donating money to Chinese orphanages and going to Chinese nursing homes to offer condolences; In the case of shortage of materials during the epidemic, although others were in Japan, they still entrusted people to buy 130,000 masks and sent them to China...
In Japan, Koji Yano went on a variety show to tell what he saw and heard in China and told about that period of history.
There is also a small episode during this period, that is, the opening one: Koji Yano said on the variety show that Chinese is not worthy of a dog.
The reason is that many people do not clean up their dog's feces, and the streets and parks are smelly.
Because of this, Koji Yano was on the hot search, and he quickly came out to apologize.
Unexpectedly, netizens said that Koji Yano does not need to apologize, because there are indeed many people in life who walk their dogs and can't clear feces!
Such people are indeed not qualified to raise dogs, and in this also call on dog owners, walking dogs on leashes and feces, do not have a fluke mentality, and ultimately harm others and themselves!
In recent years, Koji Yano has often been reported to have been expelled from his nationality, beaten by his compatriots, and even released photos.
In the photo, Koji Yano has a blue nose and swollen face, and the caption under the photo also reads: Koji Yano was beaten by extremists and seriously injured while promoting China.
However, about this matter, Koji Yano has responded: This is a still, you don't have to worry about me!
What that really is, we don't know very well, the benevolent sees the wise.
It is undeniable that after years of struggle, Koji Yano has been officially recognized as: Sino-Japanese People-to-People Exchange Ambassador!
And the well-known Japanese talk show "Cheko's Room" also invited him to tell his experience and praised what he did!
From coming to China in 2000 to the present, in the past 23 years, Koji Yano has been criticized countless times, but he has won recognition with his unremitting efforts, from a "devil" in the Chinese population and a "traitor" in the Japanese population, to a bridge of friendly exchanges between China and Japan!
What is even more surprising is that Koji Yano is not only inseparable from China, but also his feelings.
04
Koji Yano's wife is a native of Chongqing, an authentic "Sichuan girl", as early as 2010, this multinational couple had a love crystallization, and they gave birth to a beautiful daughter.
Because Koji Yano and his wife are Japanese and Chinese, they can choose which nationality they want to enter as soon as they are born.
Koji Yano didn't even want his daughter to become a Chinese citizen, and let his daughter follow his wife's surname and settle in China.
He never regretted this, he also explained:
"Because of economic development, Japan's social welfare and education situation is more advanced than China's, and daughters who become Japanese citizens can receive a good education, but they should not feel that Chinese nationality is inferior because of this, for the sake of future children, we must build a beautiful Sino-Japanese relationship and make the world more peaceful and beautiful."
Koji Yano does not flattery or belittle China and Japan, and such an attitude is very rare.
Today, Koji Yano's permanent residence is the capital Beijing, and he is also active in the film and television industry, producing three to four works a year.
With the development of short videos, Koji Yano has also settled on the platform, often bringing joy to everyone, while actively sharing the culture of China and Japan, always keeping his responsibilities in mind!
Koji Yano seems to be already a role model, and his experience tells the world that Chinese in his bones: friends come with good wine, jackals come with shotguns.
