I was sitting at lunch today with several of my clients from a company here in Nagoya when one of the workers turned to her neighbor and said, "Don't you think he looks just like Matsudaira Ken?" Huh? Who? Yeah, I'm definitely a foreigner - I had no idea who one of the most famous Japanese actors was. They explained that I look just like this particular actor. Especially when I smile. Of course, that made me smile/laugh and then the whole other half of the table burst out in agreement.
So, apparently I haven't found my doppelganger before now because he was Japanese. And a Shogun-period actor at that. She then insisted that I be called "Ken" going forward. Add that to my pile of Japanese nicknames (Ken, Katsuo, Kaizaki-kun, Kaizaru).
Without further ado, my doppelganger:
