Obviously the man was a legend. Starred in so many famous martial arts movies. Perhaps most notable in the west as Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill. I didn't know he was a founder for JAE though, thanks Himitsu Sentai Blog!
He was on Space Sheriff Shaider. Even we had an encounter with him. He was in Legend of the SEven Monks/Master of Thunder in a cameo role, which also had Kinoshita Ayumi in it
I remember when people used to spread rumors that Chiba Reiko was his daughter lol
Anyway, the guy was a legend and it's sad to lose him
RIP Sonny Chiba

Re: RIP Sonny Chiba
Hmmmm, I'm not sure. It's been a while, but I don't know how that works. I also just read your 2008 thread on licensed projects. Siiiiggghhhh! Hopefully the license is over and you can repost the link.
