Yūji Oda

Say his name in Japan and half the room quotes a line from Bayside Shakedown. Oda has run at full throttle since Tokyo Love Story: acting, singing, writing lyrics, and shouting his way through World Athletics broadcasts. One survey ranked him the Heisei era's second most popular actor. Intensity, sustained for decades.
