[KineJapan] Ando Noboru

[Gerow Aaron]

The actor Ando Noboru has died at the age of 89. Ando was a real life yakuza (and apparently the boss of a pretty high powered gang at that) before going to jail and being forced to break up his gang. He then became an author and a major actor in yakuza films, lending authenticity to many a Toei yakuza flick.
