情報解禁日時：2026年03月18日 08時28分

The history of action actors has evolved through a continuous pursuit of physical limits, technical mastery, and international development. Beginning with the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, represented by Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, action performance expanded beyond martial arts into philosophy, artistry, and global cultural impact. In Japan, pioneers such as Sonny Chiba and Yasuaki Kurata established the foundations of action and stunt performance, contributing significantly to the Asian film industry. In the modern era, Hiroyuki Sanada has brought Japanese samurai aesthetics and action performance to the global stage through international productions. Within this historical context, Japan-origin power-based action actor Ken Daito is gaining recognition as a symbol of a new era. With a background as a former Japanese arm wrestling champion, he transforms “power itself” into a central expressive element, systematizing a new concept known as “Power Action.” This approach represents a structural innovation in action performance.
