What sort of films/movies was he in? Anything recognizable to random person(like myself)?

Regardless, RIP. Covid fucking sucks, man.

FUCK!!!

Damnit, I think Shout Factory just put the Street Fighter remasters on sale recently too. He was obviously legendary in Kill Bill Vol. 1, so this really sucks he succumbed to this fucking disease of all things

*pours one out to the original Street Fighter, Hattori Hanzo*

RIP my dude.

There's a Japanese series which gained a ton of popularity here in Australia. I think Sonny Chiba played a wandering swordsman - I saw a documentary about his popularity over here, apparently he was met with a similar fervor as the Beatles when he came over here to do autographs and stuff.

I loved him in Kill Bill, and his appearance in Tokyo Drift was a pleasant surprise after a whole movie of this lame ass fuckin redneck protag. Rest in peace, king.

fucking covid, rip. His stunt work and martial arts choreography are among the best. So many good movies and TV shows benefited from him having worked on them.

That's sad but he was over 80, why didn't he have the vaccine yet?

He should have been eligible to get it early, but Japan had horrible difficulty rolling out the vax. At one point Vietnam was doing better.

RIP, he was a legend.

I know Japan had some issues rolling out the vaccine, but weren't they one of the best countries in terms of covid procedures otherwise?
I think the general consensus is that they handled the OG and Alpha well. Delta wrecked everyone but I think everyone can agree they handled it poorly.

Plus at 80....he was pretty vulnerable.

Iirc, a lot of Japanese are distrusting of the vaccine.

damn shame, but like you said, he was over 80 so at least he lived a good long life.
And made damn good flicks. Hopefully he didn't suffer.

Yeah they had a botched MMR vax in the early 90s which is a cultural touchstone like the Tuskegee experiments are for black Americans. Like 2 million kids were sickened and the government lied. I was living there then

And there are some who say "We know it's safe for Westerners, but what about we Japanese?" They have an exceptionalism thing too.

The actor had reportedly contracted COVID-19 at the end of last month and was treated without being hospitalized

And why wasn't he hospitalized? Why hasn't he gotten his vaccinations yet? He was over 80, shouldn't he been treated as high risk?

Actor and martial artist Sonny Chiba passed away at a hospital in Kimitsu City in Chiba prefecture on Thursday at 5:26 p.m. due to pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19). He was 82.

Chiba's agency reported on Thursday that he had gone to the hospital on August 8 because his pneumonia from COVID-19 had worsened. He was on supplemental oxygen, but he was unable to recover before his death.

My heart sank seeing this topic thinking that Camp Lo would be no more, but it seems I'm the only idiot who upon reading Sonny Chiba can't help but whisper Geechi Suede.

Either way, I now know who the actual Sonny Chiba is and this news still sucks.

A martial arts movie star. Quentin Tarantino gushes over him in a number of his movies.

The dude could act as well as fight. He had an evil face and a good line delivery.
