Kapanlagi.com - The Japanese reality show, Benteng Takeshi, was once one of the most beloved shows by the public in the 90s. It was so popular that Indonesia even created a program with a similar concept and modified it.

Aside from its hilarious games, one thing that viewers could never forget was the main antagonist, Raja Takeshi, played by Japanese actor Takeshi Kitano. Now, after decades have passed, Takeshi has never been in the Indonesian media again.

Of course, many are curious about what Takeshi looks like now. Moreover, the actor, who is now 73 years old, doesn't have social media and rarely reveals his personal life.

The latest portrait of Takeshi was shared by Malaysian actor and musician Pete Teo. The two met at a film event a few days ago. Pete is known as a big fan of Takeshi, so he took the opportunity to ask for a photo together and share it on his Instagram account.

"I am a big fan of Takeshi Kitano. During the filming process of GHOST IN THE SHELL, his film trailer was right next to mine. We had a brief hangout and played music. He is really kind and quiet, and he has a great sense of humor. I hope to meet him again soon," wrote actor Pete.

In the photo, Takeshi's hair is seen to be full of gray hair. Although he is in his 70s, he still looks fit.

Although rarely mentioned in Indonesian news, Takeshi Kitano is actually a senior actor who is very popular in Japan.

Most of his roles are as antagonistic characters or cruel yakuza.

In addition to being active in the acting world, Takeshi also has a clothing business called KITANOBLUE. Last year in 2019, he divorced his wife, Mikiko Kitano, whom he had been married to since the 1980s.
