 * Speedy Keep. Kei Sato is one of the most prominent film actors in the Japanese New Wave, and has appeared in hundreds of films and TV shows. I quickly added a reference from a major dictionary noting some of his major awards. Many more sources can be added.

I will warn the user about that, but we should be patient with such users. Michitaro (talk) 17:28, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
