This is my custom build-up of legendary Japanese actor-director "Beat" Takeshi Kitano in his greatest gangster role as "Aniki" in the Japanese-American production of the film "Brother" (2001).

Kitano plays a yakuza who is exiled to Los Angeles where he has a younger brother.

Pretty soon "Aniki" sets about building up a new organization in the good old USA - using ruthless Japanese methods.

The head of this figure was a custom sculpted figure which I painted. The body, clothes and pistol were purchased from several 1/6 scale figure Internet shops.
