Shin'ya Kote

Kote spent years in Tokyo's small-theatre world: Waseda's drama club, then his own company, Gekidan innerchild, which he ran himself. When he finally turned up on screen, audiences learned his face at once. That is not just the face. It is stage habit, hundreds of nights learning how to pull a room's attention toward you. He writes and directs too.
