My Take
Yakkun Sakurazuka built his fame on a blonde wig and a sailor uniform, playing the delinquent schoolgirl character Sukeban Kyoko with total commitment. That kind of comedy sounds like pure noise from outside, but it runs on timing and stamina, and it takes nerve for a Nihon University graduate to walk on stage dressed like that and hold nothing back. He kept widening the frame too - singing, voice acting, straight acting - which tells me he wanted more than one famous character. He died in October 2013 after a road accident while travelling, aged only 37. That is the age when performers usually start showing the rest of what they can do, and the door shut far too early.
