hi pipi, not that I have anything against you, but that picture is clearly taken down from up high. at that positions, everything will look shorter. Hes also from Northern China, and trust me, those guys aren't short at all. Look how tall he is in movies. Huang Xiao Ming is like a duplication of Louis Koo... same height, similar features, body structures etc. That's why he's known as "Louis Koo of China" pipi says on 25/Jan/10

Huang Xiao Ming is only 5'7.5? you sure? pikapikachu says on 5/Dec/09
andy lau is only 5'7 but he often wear lift like lots of asian star
for example a famous chinese actor huang xiao ming is listed as 5'11 but he's no more than 5'7.5 JD89 says on 29/Sep/09
I READ EVERYWHERE 179CM FOR HIM. I WATCHED A LOT OF HIS MOVIES AND HE ALWAYS IS THE TALLER , A REAL STRONG 179CM. to ah says on 18/Feb/09
His name is Takeshi Kaneshiro.jin cheng wu is only the translated name for it, and that's what Taiwanese know him as. To the rest of the world, he is Takeshi Kaneshiro. britbeck says on 11/Feb/09
He's taller than me. Thats enough. I adore him coz wat i read abt him it seems to me he's a gud guy ^o^ ah says on 22/Nov/08
Tang, your conversion is wrong. You multiply the .8 by 12 to get how many inches over 5 ft, because, as the Rob said, there are 12 inches in a foot. Felix says on 7/Nov/08
His name should be Jin Cheng Wu, Takeshi Kaneshiro is his japanese name, about 176cm. If he dares to use this japanese name in China, 90% people will hate him and he will lose chinese market. Andy Lau(Liu De Hua) now is max 170cm. jackie says on 8/Oct/08
hi there..! 5 ft and 10 inches...!? wow thats hot. i never expect he is that tall (taking it that he is an asian guy...no offensement ok)...but seriously...i really dont care about takeshi's height...just as long as he do great movies. i adore him so much..more than those hollywood actors... and i love his old series 'God please give me more time' i cried river when i watched it just 4 months ago...lol...(",) oh yeah? says on 21/Aug/08
Yeah, stars report fake heights but NOT all stars will fake their height. btw Takeshi is not a custom hong kong actor although he often stars in HK movies. He began his career in taiwan, and peaked it in Japan. He certainly looks like 181cm because he's slim, and i'm sure people can see that he can never belong to the 174-175 genre. And what's the difference btw 5 ft 9.5 and 5 ft 10 anyway, people are so accustomed to downgrading celebs. DejaVu says on 5/Feb/08
I am from Hong Kong and I read about stars reporting fake heights. He is only 176 cm which is 5'9. andy says on 4/Dec/07
hm this is all quite interesting as I have been called back 3 times to audition to be his body and stunt double for his new film Sato Shimako Gumi. Not sure if i'll get it. I'm 178cm-even though in Japan-,many people think im taller-my slim build makes me appear taller aswell. 3 of us were similar heights and there were 3 others about 180cm or taller-- one whom looked very much like Takeshi-so the part might go to him. Everyone at the auditions were my height or taller-so I guess Takeshi is really 178cm a least. Damn i want the part-the money is good mia says on 30/Oct/07
no matter what the ht. is, he is gorgeous and a very good actor! even if you're 5'4 and acts really well...will that matter? For me, Takeshi cant be compared to any actors even here in the U.S. He has the depth and the looks! If only I can meet this wonderful person.... Anonymous says on 12/May/07
He's 179cm (about 5'11"). Don't be fooled by the picture he stood next to Andy Lau, who's known to wear "speal shoes" that help raising your height by 2-3 inches (they apear normal from outside), those shoes are very popular in Asia right now. Joe says on 6/Apr/07
5'9" looked about 1 inch taller than Andy Lau in House Flying Daggers. footballed28 says on 24/Jan/07
just to share a fact with you'all...his father is Japanese and his mother is Taiwanese...something I read from an article...he is also very talented...speaks English, Japanese, Mandarin, and Cantonese Shaun says on 28/Dec/06
Wasn't there an article in GQ where he was listed as 5'9''? Not sure, because it was a while back, but I think he was. Jim says on 11/Sep/06
He looks really short in all the fashion magazines. Maybe around 5'8" at most. Ay-za says on 2/Feb/06
He looks taller than his real height Adrianna says on 13/Dec/05
5'10 sounds about right. Tang got pwned says on 12/Nov/05
thanks rob, i made the same mistake as Tang, thanks for showing me the path to true knowledge.
HAHAHAH Tang got owned so hard
[Editor Rob: it's surprisingly common for many to get confused with all those conversions] Jordan says on 25/Jul/05
Golden rule of thumb. Subtract about 1 1/2 to 2 inches from any celebrity's listed height and you have his/her real height. Firestar says on 1/Jul/05
I just have to say...178 centimeters = 70.0787402 inches....which is 5ft 10... Gotta agree with Editor Rob... Vivian says on 29/May/05
I have never seen in person because I think he lives in Hong Kong? But I do think he's actually shorter than 5'10 based on the HK movies he's been in. Jobe says on 11/Apr/05
Has anyone ever me this guy in person. He looks pretty short in most of the non- publicity pics I see. Like around 5'8 to 5'9"
Tang says on 30/Mar/05
Rob, I would just like to tell you how much of an idiot I feel like at this point in time. I don't know why I didn't see that. I really didn't care about this guy, just stubborn when it comes to numbers. Besides, we could never know these peoples' real heights anyway, they always jack up their height a few nches anyway on their sites. Damn I feel like an idiot. Tang says on 29/Mar/05
Ummm, ok, look at your rationale. 70.079 inches. Divide that by 12 inches (or 1 foot) which equals a little over 5'8". Do the math there Rob.
[Editor Rob: Lol Tang, just ask your Math Teacher...(5 * 12) = 60 inches. 70 - 60 = 10. Hence, 5ft and 10 inches. the 5.839 'feet' you are fixated on is a decimalised value, but since there ain't 10 inches in a 'foot' you have to multiply that .839 by 12 to arrive at the remaining inches. 70 inches = 5ft 10in = 5.833 feet, 71 inches = 5ft 11in = 5.916 feet] Tang says on 29/Mar/05
Ummm, I don't which converter you're looking at but go to the International Standards of weight and measure converter. 178 cm is a little over 5'8". Unless you're going by a standard noone but you knows about to arrive at 5'10".
[Editor Rob: Ah, I understand what you're saying. 178cm = 5.839 feet. Yes, but there's 12 inches in a foot. I do see this mistake a lot on some sites that convert the cm wrongly in that way. The inch-cm conversion factor has existed for ages and is simply 1 inch = 2.54cm. Hence 178cm = 70.079 inches, or 5ft 10in] Tang says on 28/Mar/05
I hate to break it to you people , but he's 179 cm which is around 5'8" not 5'10".
[Editor Rob: 179cm = 5ft 10.5] |
