Description
Sometimes we flatter people and talk them up to be sweethearts and gentlemen, but in the case of the legendary Akira Takarada it's not flattery, it's the honest truth. The dude is not only a screen legend but he's a tough and generous guy. 85 years old and this man is STILL flying out to G-Fest to hang with us his fans, giving us his time and receiving our love. It's nothing short of amazing and his generosity is unquestionable. Always cheering, always smiling, always willing to go the extra mile. A true classy gentleman, and I'm beyond honored that I've not only been able to meet him 3 times but that he accepted some artwork as a gift.
Long may he continue to grace us with his abundant warm energy and inspire good cheer and friendliness. My life is so much richer for being on the receiving end of his smile.

Truth, he bears himself super well even at his age, it's kinda great.

I wish every fan could enjoy the Fest, but like all conventions I know the money and distance issues can suck depending on things.

It's getting to that point where you start to get scared, never knowing when the last time is you'll get to see grand-dad. We love Takarada but the dude is so old now, hoping he stays in great health because he wants to make it to G-Fest 30 in 4 years.

Woot! I'm glad to share in the happiness, this is a big reason why GFest has been a constant addiction for us for 12 years, it's hard to miss the chance to be around such great and historic people
