Of what I've seen of Kudo Kankuro's work he does seem to have a wacky sense of humour! I was suprised when I found that he had written Ping Pong and Go two excellent movies starring the ace actor Yosuke Kubozuka - two movies which everybody must see!!!!!!!
His the only screenwriter whose work I anticipate kinda like hoping for a new Nagase drama! lol
I've noticed that (depending if he has any say in the casting for his screenplays) there seems to be like actors that are preferred who appear in more then one drama or movie of his. Like Nagase who has appeared in the dramas IWGP, Tiger & Dragon and the movie Mayonaka no Yaji-san Kita-san and Yosuke Kubozuka who has appeared in the drama IWGP and the movies Go and Ping Pong. There are others as well but at the moment I can't remember who from the top of my head.
And now to put a face to the star name (he does seem to favour the hat, our top writer) WARNING - The following pictures may contain partial facial nudity - view at own discretion:
, if you think you can write better then him (please back that up with awards - nothing flashy like an Oscar mind - Quentin Tarantino I'm looking at you 
), or simply if you just want to reply with he rocks! or any other witty one-liners. Everybody's welcome! (except Tarantino ).
Please post away.
