Mickey Curtis

Mickey Curtis (Mikki Kaatchisu), born on 23 July 1938, is a Japanese actor, singer, and television personality. His birth name was Michael Brian Curtis, and he was born to parents of English and Japanese descent.
A key figure in Japanese popular music, Mickey is regarded as one of the three major names in Japanese rock, having helped popularize the genre in the 1950s when he started as a rockabilly singer. In 1967, he gained international recognition for his avant-garde rock band, "Mickey Curtis & The Samurai." After five years, Mickey disbanded the group and returned to Japan in 1972, where he began producing other musicians.
His acting debut was as a rock singer in Kihachi Okamoto's 1958 film All About Marriage, and he has since starred in more than 70 feature films. Now over 70 years old, he is one of Japan's oldest major celebrities and a regular TV face. Outside of his entertainment career, he has worked as a race car driver and owns a motorcycle shop in Meguro, Tokyo. He speaks Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, and Thai.
