Kōji Yakusho
Hagiwara co-starred in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Cure" with Kōji Yakusho and appeared in Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Café Lumière". He was supposed to perform in the play "Shinjō Afururu Keihakusa 2001" at Theatre Cocoon in January 2001, but was forced to cancel his performance in December 2000 due to a sensorineural hearing loss that left him temporarily deaf.
