Did you know that Toho actor Kenji Sahara turned 93 four days ago?
It slipped my mind that his birthday took place on May 14.
According to Wikipedia:
Kenji Sahara (佐原 健二 Sahara Kenji) (born 14 May 1932) is a Japanese actor. He was born in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa. His birth name is Masayoshi Kato (加藤 正好 Katō Masayoshi). Initially he used the name Tadashi Ishihara before changing it when he secured the lead role in Rodan (1956).

It is nice that a classic actor from Toho's Showa era is still with us. Happy Birthday, Kenji Sahara!
