The main role of the artist, in which the audience is used to seeing him, is a negative character, as a rule, a villain, a representative of the mafia. But as Tagawa himself assures, in life he remains a sentimental person who can easily shed a tear, and the warlike appearance is just a mask, he saves it for work in the cinema.

Kari-Hiroyuki Tagawa (better known as Kari Tagawa) was born in Tokyo in September 1950, the son of a military man who worked at an American base and an actress. Mom was from an old family, and when she expressed a desire to become an artist, she was kicked out of the house. As a child, she read to her son works of world classical literature, among which the honorable place was given to Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov and Fyodor Dostoevsky.

When his son was 5 years old, the family moved to Fort Bragg in the north of the American state of Carolina. According to Carey-Hiroyuki, it was there for the first time that he realized that he needed to practice martial arts.
