Everyone's loss.

1999 (49) 🕊️❤️🌹🙏🏿

I really hated this guy growing up. He was a ruthless villain. He was a great actor.

Greatest villain of all time

I’m from Kauai. The same island that CHT called home. When I was 7, I saw him at the airport and asked him for an autograph. He immediately pulled out a pic of himself from MK. He signed it “To Dain: Your Soul is Mine”. And ever since then I’ve loved him dearly. RIP brother.

Showdown in little Tokyo Rip 🪦 legend

Not including Johnny Tsumani footage in this is whack

Rest Easy Tagawa 💔

Your soul is mine

He used to harvest souls in mortal kombat, it seems his soul got harvested finally RIP

No many mention it, but he also appeared in an episode of Sabrina The Teenage Witch were she thought he was some sort of villian.

Of all the bad guys on screen, Cary‑Hiroyuki Tagawa was the most lovable. He made villains magnetic—Shang Tsung wasn’t just evil, he was unforgettable. Tagawa proved that even the darkest roles can shine with charisma. Rest in power to a legend who turned menace into art.

Someone please remind me the title of this movie.

Showdown in Little Tokyo.

I fear this man like while watching him then cause e sure say e go kill actor family member na terror e be

Hold up ✋the math ain’t mathin… 2015 - 65yo / 2025… 69yo??? 😭

Nobusuke Tagomi Aqui que eu vi que ele era um ator foda, não um aleatório que foi o shang tsung. @grok traduza para o inglês

I've seen a lot of tributes to Mr. Tagawa, and this one made me smile the most. Thanks for posting.

His soul was not his.
