James Shigeta
James Saburo Shigeta (17. jun 1929 – 28. jul 2014) bio je američki pjevač i glumac japanskog porijekla. Na samom početku glumačke karijere je privukao pažnju filmom The Crimson Kimono u kome tumači Azijata koji ima ljubavnu vezu sa bjelkinjom, a što je predstavljalo presedan u tada rasnim predrasudama opterećenoj američkoj kinematografiji. Kasnijim je generacijama poznatiji po karakternim ulogama, uključujući lik zlosretnog direktora Takagija u akcijskom hitu Die Hard.
