While surfing on YouTube, I found this GREAT clip from Japanese TV documentary, "Challenge from Zero" in 2000. It depicts Hiro's challenge to Ninagawa "King Lear", RSC (Royal Shakespere Company) in UK during 1999 and 2000, as the first Asian actor ever to join RSC performance. It contains his solo act as "Fool", speaking, singing and flipping. Video quality is not great, but it is a REAL TREAT for all Hiro fans!!! (At first, they show his Hamlet, which was performed in Japanese language in London in 1998, also by Ninagawa. Then goes on to the story about King Lear.)
Hiro's Shakespeare act
There is also a short news clip that shows Hiro given MBE in British Embassy for his work in this act.
Enjoy!!
