Sho Kosugi

Sho Kosugi (ショー・コスギ Shō Kosugi, born Shōichi Kosugi (小杉 正一 Kosugi Shōichi) on 17 June 1948 in Minato, Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese martial artist, actor, filmmaker, and writer with extensive training in Shindō jinen-ryū Karate, Kendo, Judo, Iaido, Kobudo, Aikido and Ninjutsu.

A former All Japan Karate Champion, he gained popularity as an actor during the 1980s, often playing ninja. He starred as different characters in the Cannon produced Ninja trilogy: Enter the Ninja (1981), Revenge of the Ninja (1983) and Ninja III: The Dominiation (1984). Other favourites of mine include Pray for Death (1985), Rage of Honor (1986), Black Eagle (1988) and Blind Fury (1989). He was also the lead villain on the short-lived television series The Master (1984), a series that I loved as a kid and introduced me to the ninja concept.

I obtained Sho Kosugi's autograph after contacting him through his website in April 2015.
