Seizô Fukumoto is hanging it up (the katana) after 50 years of making the hero look good! Known in the trade as a "Kiroreyaku" or 'chopped up actor", Mr. Fukumoto has died over 20,000 and possibly 50,000 times- to our great enjoyment... when not dying gloriously ourselves whilst subsimming!:rock::O:http://media.npr.org/assets/img/2012...10-s40-c85.jpg http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV..._SX172_AL_.jpg http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/msnbc/...p.grid-6x2.jpg
