SHO KOSUGI - ONE ON ONE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW by MASTERS Magazine 

SHO KOSUGI for Expendables 4 !

I started karate because of Sho 37 years ago and i am now a 6th degree black belt, thank you Sho

Sho Kosugi the GREATEST OF ALL TIME in Ninjitsu movies.

Long live Sho Kosugi!!

Excellent! Sho is the reason I became a fan of Ninjas in the 80s.

sho's a legend. he should do one more blockbuster movie with him being the hero ninja.

I met Sho Kosugi once briefly and he was such a polite and humble man. And he was built like an MMA fighter. Seriously, he looked like he could've punched through an engine block!

WE NEED SHO TO COME BACK AS THE HERO NINJA FOR ONE MORE!!!!!

Kosugi's screen presence in Ninja Assassin is what made that movie. His performance outshined everyone else.

This guy defined the 80's for me.

All his fighting was fine but what really stuck in peoples memories (and mine) were his eyes. Those were eyes of a Ninja.

Dude is a legend

Sho Kosugi is a great inspiration. Much respect to him.

And so suddenly, my childhood memories came back to me

Only a ninja can kill a ninja.

he is the japan version of charles bronson

my vcr got a lot of Sho Kosugi in the '80s

I kept trying to watch Sho Kosugi movies as a kid, but every time I'd put the cassettes in the VCR. The VCR would explode from the sheer awesomeness !

He is timeless.. all-time hero!

i was a big ninja fan in the 80s. He was my hero .....i got to meet him and his sons kane and shane and he has a daughter sho kosugi had a marshal arts store in pasadena california and when i was there he and his kids came in and i got his autograph and got to hang out with him he was so cool.I still have the autograph today. thank you sho kosugi......

I am a huge fan of Sho Kosugi, I used to play ninja all of the time as a kid and started taking Karate because of this man. He is and will always be one of my favorite actors. Thanks for posting this interview.

The greatest! About to watch ninja III THE DOMINATION now! Love Sho. Been watching his movies since I was 4 yrs old. That was in 1984.

Because of Master Kosugi, i loved all his movies and got into Ninjutsu training, bought a ninja suit and learned to use the Ninjato sword and nunchakus and shuriken. I can't say everything that i learned because its prohibited but i learned to be swift and silent. I will always have Master Kosugi in my heart because he was a big influence in my life growing up in the 80s. Thank you Sho Kosugi.

Sho's name shall forever be synonymous with the word Ninja. Thank you for all the amazing Films and TV shows Mr. Kosugi.

Pray for death was my all time favorite. One of the reasons why I joined karate

Another great man who shows that nothing in the world is given. You work hard for your dream. Even with the pressures of family he worked two jobs until his hard work paid off. Definitely someone who can teach millennials a thing or two.

I grew up on Sho's movies! He inspired my love for ninjutsu and ninjas. Love him. He's a sweetheart!

AMAZING!!! I remember being 8 years old and first seeing Revenge of the ninja in a video store, I somehow convinced my father to rent it for me! Sho Kosugi has been such a major part of all our lives... I count myself lucky to have actually been able to go to his martial arts supply store as a child in the 80's! Thanks so much Sho! The 80's would not have been the same without you!!!

Such a superb interview. Sho Kosugi is a hero of mine. :-)

I remember wanting to be a ninja after watching Sho in his movies. And when he was going to be in Ninja Assassin I was like gotta watch it still one of my fav Martial Art action stars

I grew up watching sho kosugi at the height of his popularity in the 1980's.. he revolutionized the ninja craze in the 80's..big fan here always have always will.

This video is a priceless treasure! I remember "Revenge of the Ninja" and "Ninja 3: The Domination" Lucinda Dickey, Hot!! As the aerobics instructor!! It's good to see Sho Kosugi again after so many years still practicing with his sons this "forgotten art/path" of the Ninja! Thank you for uploading this! This goes in my favorites!!

Sensei I really admire you and yours moves, I´m 43 years old and I still enjoy watching your movies! They encourage me to continue practicing martial arts...thanks !!

The only Ninja master that I know, I remember I try to climbing trees all over our backyard because of him, great memories, Thank you

Ur the man sho. much respect

Hero to many, Inspiration to all - Thank you Sho Kusugi !!!

My God! Thank you Masters Magazine! This made my week! Im so happy to see! We want Kosugi sensei back!! No one knows the formula to Ninja movies as good as Kosugi sensei!!

He is a humble individual. In my younger years as a martial artist I watched quite a few of his movies.

Revenge of the Ninja is always my favorite. I broke several VCR tapes from watching his films over and over. True legend.

I loved watching sho and tadishi yamashita when I was in my teens. Then learned karate and freestyle. What a guy so underrated. 👏

He was my hero when I was 8 years old

Sho was my introduction to ninja movies which lead to martial arts training in the 80s. Still hold most of his films in high regard.

Sho Kosugi was my idol growing up he helped shift me into martial arts , this interview was so great to watch

Did Sho Kosugi just say he met Bruce Lee? That's so cool.

Sho Kosugi, the hero of my youth..., everytime charming, funny and a unique actor. Thanks Sho Kosugi, for all your entertaining movies...

Love you Sensi , My dream hero. 🇬🇧

Sho should come around to the conventions and sign some stuff.

The Legend!!! I grew up watching his movies and it was because of him I took on martial arts.

Sho is my favorite my idol he's the best love him 😙😙❤❤⚘⚘

Sho was one of the original 80's badass action heroes. I grew up watching him along with Arnold and Sly.

sho inspire me to began Karate 35 years ago, i am now a 6th degree black belt because of him, Ossss Sho

I knew Sho in Black Eagle (Van Damme) but I didn't know him as a kid! I just saw the Movie for first time in 2013 and I also saw him in Blind Fury(Rutger Hauer who's just died two weeks ago) I saw many of his movies playing Ninjas!Great Martial Artist!

One of my all time martial arts heroes growing up. A true legend who is deserving of an overdue Hollywood Star.

Thanks too SHO KOSUGI,,, IVE, mastered almost every weapon, + learned that their are life saving weapons all AROUND US🙏

SHO KOSUGI A LEGEND!

nice download ! he sounds a nice guy respect mr kosugi .

Master sho is the main reason I learned mixed material arts. He has always been my hero

Love this guy from my youth. While Bruce may be best, Sho was there to pick up where Bruce left off. Good that we had him in the 80's since Bruce wasn't around anymore.

Thank you so much for sharing this ❤ Big part of my childhood was wrapped in everything Kosugi related. Much appreciato!

LEGEND!!!!!

i remember when I was a kid when revenge or ninja 3 came on we would stop playing out side or what ever it was we doing we were glued to the TV.

Wow. I never would have known that was that was Sho unless you told me. I feel old all of a sudden.

'Bladen' is my friend..

Forever the Master! Thank you Master Sho!

Was obsessed with his movies in the 1980s. Watched Revenge of the Ninja so many times.

Mr. Sho. Iv been watching your movies since I was a little boy. My first movie was Revenge of the Ninja and just so you know even though you played the bad guy in some of your movies your the only reason I went to watch them. I hated it when you got killed in some of them. It filled me with sadness to see that. But i learned it was just movie. But you made a big difference in my life because I would buy them movies with my allowance money. I wish you many happy years and many more movies. You have so much more to offer the world. Your the best martial artist in my heart. Many thanks to you Master Sho Kosugi

Sho is one of those most recognisable faces in martial arts. Everytime you see him in movies you know it's him right away.

I have always admired Sensi Kosugi struggles and success in Hollywood. His sons are an amazing reflection of their father.

From a humble beginning he rose up to live his dream. Thank you very much Master Sho for being so humble and kind..........

Hard working dude...and what those movie lacked in budget, they made up for in heart.

Mi héroe cuando era chico, lo pude conocer cuando vino al pre estreno de una película en Argentina- las 9 muertes de un ninja- le di la mano y me regaló una foto autografiada que aún guardo !!

Very nice and thank you for sharing this valuable piece :-)

Sho Kosugi is the real deal.

Sho Kosugi, Bruce Lee, Van Damme, these guys were all my version of John Wayne as a kid, I have a deep respect and admiration for all of them.

What an amazing talent! I loved seeing this interview and finding out he is also a great person.

I have always admired this man.

A Ninja exist and born because of sho kusogi. The Way of The Ninja!!!

Sho Kosugi introduced me to the Ninja movies. I have seen other movies since but Sho is the true master and he owns that genre.

It's because of this man is why I became interested in ninjitsu

He has so much positive energy ! It's contagious and inspirational ! Love it !

"Revenge of the Ninja" started it all for me. Sho Kosugi, YOU ROCK!

What a great watch. Thank you sho

Thank you Mr Kosugi for all the entertainment you gave a young boy back in the 80s with your films you were my Rambo

He is the greatest!!

Awesome interview with one of the greatest actors and martial artists ever.

All his ninja movies are the best he should came back make more movies 🎥 he great actor and very good one.....

A True Master one of most rare occassions to see a Real ninja on screen

To think my hero wanted to commit suicide. In so glad he lived and inspired me so much. He may have failed early on, but he is still a conqueror. I saw his Revenge of the Ninja movie and dreamed of being a ninja. Now I'm a Fifth DAN in Bujinkan ninjutsu. When he says that the first time he wore his ninja mask, he saw himself as he was 5 years old. I know how amazing that is, to look back and say to your 5 year old self, you made it.

Only a ninja can stop a ninja mr .sho is so awesome

This man is THE MOLD for every movie Ninja. Both master, and legend.

Happy Birthday to the Agent of Missionary Shogun. Represent from [Nippon] Tokyo, Empire of Japan. Sho Kosugi. A man who has the Art of Invisibility and the atomizing strength of the warrior is here to prove himself to be the outstanding event that no one shall have what ti takes to outsmart him and his ninja skill in the adventure of Assassins Master Quest. Sho Kosugi make incredible impact to be amazing in many events that makes him 100% famous for the Emperor Shogun which admire his judgment to be a Martial Arts Hero.

This guy is the orignal ninja. Everything started from him. Fucking legend.

I first saw Revenge of the Ninja when I was 4 years old. I love it to this day!

You definitely did and if I may, totally proved that you are the 1 and only TRUE NINJA WARRIOR 🙏

Thanks for sharing this, he literally shaped my movie viewing in the 80´s and even now i still collect HD releases to see them in full quality.

Definitely grew up watching Sho loved his movies.

the Legend him self ^_^

I never did study martial arts (music was my passion) but I LOVED his movies growing up. I probably watched Revenge Of The Ninja 100 times and I still watch it whenever I can.

Sho Kosugi, absolutely legendary

Ninjas wouldn't be such a thing without this man. They had ninjas before, but he made them cool.
