That Guy Actor of the Week: Yuji Okumoto
To me he’ll always be known as the bad guy in Karate Kid II and the funny guy who talks like Howard Cosell in Better off Dead. And frankly I think that’s about all you need to include Yuji Okumoto in this feature on Unreality.
I mean those two roles alone are legendary. But we cannot forget that Yuji has had plenty of roles. Personally I loved him in Aloha Summer (great scene where he gets drunk) and in The Game as the dude who works behind a hotel desk.
Somehow Yuji just keeps appearing in films and I love it. A classic scene of Yuji
He was such an awesome bully.
Wow, I never even realized he was in Better Off Dead…great role.
LOL
Truth be told, I always thought his portrayol of Chozen was pretty good. He would’ve scared the hell outta me if I was Daniel.
Wow, Better off Dead and Karate Kid 2. I never realized that was the same guy.
He has a restaurant that focuses on Hawaiian food in Seattle now. It’s called Kona Kitchen. You can even sometimes see him working the bar. Good food too.
