Who come to mind when you think of famous Japanese people and how do you know them?

I am running a small research for a TV show. I'd really appreciate if you could help me answering this question! Please feel free to write as many names as you like. It is even better if they have specific cultural connection with UK. Thank you!

Yoko Ono

No one.
Yukio Mishima.
Read one of his books some time ago
Hashimoto as I suffer from his discovery of this ailment...good he found it but bad for the outcome lol.
Akira Kurosawa.
Saw one of his films
Tadao Ando
Kenzo Tange
Toshiro Mayuzumi
Haruki Murakami (Novelist - I like his books)
Emperor Hirohito (From the war 1939-45 years
Michio Kaku (physicist who is good at explaining things)
Ooops:

"Kaku was born in San Jose, California, to second-generation Japanese-American parents"

Apologies...
Tojo. :-(
Kei Nishikori - tennis player
The only one I could think of is Emperor Hirohito.
Kenzo Nagasaki (if he really was Japanese,which I doubt)
^^^ He was from Stoke-on-Trent, Webbo ;-)

Kazuo Ishiguro. Author.

Yoko Ono was my first thought though.
Miyavi only 'cos I'm into him - but other than that I couldn't think of any. Some of the previous answers I've heard of but wouldn't have thought of them first.
well with my username I'd have to say Isoroku Yamamoto:

\\^^^ He was from Stoke-on-Trent, Webbo ;-)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thornley//

it was Kendo as well, should have googled first :-)
as a student of Shotokan in my youth, this guy was pretty famous in martial arts circles; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keinosuke_Enoeda

The cast of Monkey (1970's)

Michio Kaku - but he is 2nd generation American

Masi Oka from Heroes

Robert Ito - from Quincy, but again of Japanese descent
