Takao Osawa Impresses with His Ou Ki Physique from Kingdom in Omotesando
He wears no disguise at all, and usually exudes an aura of being just like any other person.
On a late July night in Tokyo’s Omotesando district, which had been suffering from a series of tropical nights, the streets were bustling with shoppers passing by. Amidst the crowd, I saw a stocky “good-looking guy” wearing a black T-shirt and shorts. He was actor Takao Osawa (56).
He was holding a cardboard box under his arm, and the veins on his arms were clearly visible above his well-developed muscles. Even passersby couldn’t help but gasp at the sight of him. even passersby would gasp and groan. Osawa loaded up his luggage and drove away in his car.
In the movie “Kingdom: The Return of the King,” which is currently in theaters, Osawa plays the role of Wang Ki, a legendary general who wears armor and wields a gigantic spear.
Osawa stoically changes his body shape to suit the role. He gained 20 kg for the role of the general Wang Ki, and then lost 11 kg again for the movie “The Armada of Silence. This is an impossible increase or decrease that most people would not be able to endure.
Thanks to his efforts, both films have been very well received: “Kingdom,” which was released in July, grossed over 5 billion yen in just 21 days, and all four films in the series have exceeded 5 billion yen. This is the largest number of Japanese live-action series in Reiwa since the beginning of the 20th century,” said a movie writer.
We look forward to seeing him make the most of his physical beauty and play a new role that he is sure to be a hit with.
