Biography

Born David Ken Sakurai Bo, in Copenhagen, Denmark. His Eurasian heritage includes Danish, Bornholm and Japanese roots.

In the U.S., Sakurai stepped into the spotlight as Marvel Studios villain, Scythe, in the series Iron Fist (2017) His notable roles continued with Mutsuhiro 'The Bird' Watanabe in Unbroken: Path to Redemption (2018) a sequel to the Academy Award-nominated film from 2014, followed by The Man in the High Castle (2015), S.W.A.T.
