For George Takei, 'Yakuza: Like a Dragon' role is personal

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories 

Playing a mob boss in a video game might not seem all that serious for a veteran actor who has appeared on feature films and television. For George Takei, however, performing the role of Masumi Arakawa in "Yakuza: Like a Dragon," is akin to his life coming full circle. Takei was only six years old when he was first introduced to the concept of "benshi" -- Japanese performers who narrated for silent films. It was a discovery that happened to coincide with a dark period in American history. At the time, Takei and his family were staying in Arkansas, part of some 120,000 Japanese-Americans who were gathered into internment camps after Pearl Harbor was bombed on Dec. 7, 1941.
