TAK SAKAGUCHI

Officially declared hottest human alive after Death Trance, this here is the full package. He is incredibly pretty, has the most beautiful voice in the world, scintillating charisma and personality, he's a hardcore fighter, and is only getting hotter with each movie. They found this guy fighting on the street and were like, "come fight for our movie instead," and he was like "sure, why not." He has fought a crocodile, a bull, a bear - and won! Judging by the fact that he's still this pretty, they probably didn't get a hit in. He's just that awesome. He's now a successful action director as well as a great actor and... and..... oh god I can't type straight while he's staring at me like that. Aargh!! >.< I better stop now before my brain short-circuits again from how unbelievably amazing he is.

JACKIE CHAN

Is there anyone out there that doesn't like Jackie Chan?? Honestly now. Not only is he a great martial artist, he will use anything around him that's not nailed down to defend himself. He does all his own stunts, and considering how many times he  has broken every bone in his body, it's amazing he's still alive.

JET LI

An accomplished martial artist as well as aspiring Buddhist monk, Jet Li is just plain awesome. His fighting style is incredibly fast and amazing to watch. Plus he's pretty and has a cute smile. Yay for prettiness! My favorite of his movies is probably Hero.

TATSUYA FUJIWARA

Very youthful and pretty, he'll always be the face of Battle Royale for me. Last I heard he's playing Yagami Raito in the live action movie adaptation of Death Note!! That should be interesting, to say the least.

I'm used to him playing lone, brooding warriors, but apparently he's been in a ton more stuff than I ever seen. Mmmm... Storm Riders. *_*

MASANOBU ANDO

Though I'll always remember him as the psychotic art student in Battle Royale, Masanobu usually plays saner people. He was a really cute, sweet ninja in Akakage (Red Shadow).

Kitano can actually ACT!! Imagine that... He's been in tons of things, but I will most remember him as the crazy teacher in Battle Royale.

NICHOLAS TSE

This pop star/actor looks pretty no matter what he does but, despite playing a bitter prick, he was absolutely breathtaking in The Promise. I've never seen anyone wield bladed fans with more grace. The fight with the rotating screens was great, too.

At first I felt really bad that he kept dying in Hero... but then I was amused. Anyhow, here's one of the few people who can pull off looking pretty with facial hair.
