It has been announced by Nikkan Sports that Akanishi Jin will be making his Hollywood debut in the movie, 47 Ronin, which stars Keanu Reeves. Jin will be together with his fellow Japanese stars, Sanada Hiroyuki, Tadanobu Asano, Kikuchi Rinko, and singer Shibasaki Kou. He will play as the leader of ‘47 Ronin’, son of Oishi Chikara (Sanada) and a friend of Kai (Reeves).

Jin garnered attention from a lot of Jpop fans since he is the first Johnny talent to ever perform musically in United States. Although he is famous in the Jpop community, he is pretty much unknown in Hollywood. According to him, the music and acting world are borderless so without destroying his stance, he’d like to plow through and play an active part.

Yay! We’re very proud of you Jin!
