Early life and education

Joe Odagiri was born February 16, 1976, in Tsuyama, Okayama prefecture. Though he was accepted by Kochi University, he turned it down for an opportunity to study in the United States. He had originally intended to study film directing at California State University, Fresno, but mistakes in the application process landed him in acting classes.[1] He often says that Tokyo is his second hometown.[2]
