@Editor Rob,
What still convinces u that he’s only 5’10.25”?
I felt he’s more of a Weak 5’11” than just over 5’10” most of the times w/ someone like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Donnie Yen, Jean Reno, Shu Qi, Huang Xiaoming, Ben Barnes, Ben Gazaara & especially Colin Chou! etc. and the list goes on.
I have watched most of his films, premieres pics & I really do struggle to see him less than 179cm, in fact, 5’10.5-10.75” is more like his range with the 10.5” figure possibly being the minimum (Just like guys like Russell Crowe, Ronaldinho etc.)
I have no doubt he’d definitely clear the 5’10” range easily for sure. Tho he isn’t quite a Solid 5’11” guy, we can both agree on that!

I agree with Rob, the highest I’d argue for him is 5’10.5. He doesn’t fall under 5’10, so this listing seems to hit the middle mark right on.
Of the pics you added @FE , Timothée slightly edges out Chang just as Takeshi does too. So it’s safe to say they’re relative in height. These two, Delon, and Styles are the cases where I’ve seen people argue the most for either 5’10 or 5’10.25 (with 5’10.5 being the highest they can pull off). Certainly the height where claiming 180 wouldn’t be too much of a reach.

Might have to double back on earlier comments. Takeshi is easily this listing’s height, perhaps even a quarter inch more or taller. I recently observed some images of him with Chang Chen and he edges the latter out very noticeably.
Click Here
Click Here
(Chang is near the farthest left)
Though they’re not standing directly next to each other so the comparison may be harder to determine, Takeshi is definitely no less than 5’10.
For further comparison, here is Chang next to the Dune cast recently: Click Here
Chang is comparable to Chalamet (5’10) and Denis Villeneuve (whose height is questionable but appears around that range). If I were to bet on it, Takeshi is no less than 5’10.25, but more times than not is 5’10.5. A case could even be made for him being closer to 5’11 than 5’10 (5’10.75). He easily reaches 5’11 territory in the morning or with footwear. Hence the constant 180 claims by the media and perhaps even personally too. Who knows, that may even be his actual height too. Anywhere between 178-180 is debatable.

Actually now that I think about it, I would actually say 5ft 10. Conservatively and truly 177-178cm, but can appear 179-180cm. Just my two cents.

I feel like most guys this height can say they’re around a comfortable 180cm (a standard portrayed as above average for Asian standards, even tall back in the day). Kaneshiro seems no stranger to this and the general consensus has him at 5ft 10.25. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if others believed him to be 179-180 range.

Kaneshiro ever did a japanese movie with 6'1 3/4 Etsushi Toyokawa while look close to 9cm between them. I'm thinking maybe this listing is a legit low but 5'10 1/2 still a chance than 3/4.

If leehom wang is the same height as takeshi, then takeshi cannot get over 5'10. Leehom wang is similar to show lo, who should be around 5'9 without shoes. I'd put both takeshi and leehom at 5'9.25- 5'9.75. They may be able to surpass 5'10 in the morning but that's not a guarentee

Who's Taller, Him or Hrithik Roshan?
Both Leading men heartthrobs of Asia that R under 6ft, but can look Tall-ish on Screen.
Personally, I would easily give the edge to Takeshi as he's more legitimate 179cm than Hrithik.
Hrithik between 5'10-10.5" is far likely tho.

He is most likely 178-178.5 cm. There is a rumour saying he is 176cm at night. I doubt it. He always look 5’10+. Even 179cm is not a bad claim. A lot of people his height would claim 180

He could be 5'10 3/4. If someone like Jason Bateman get listed at the 3/4 i don't see Kaneshiro to be anything below Bateman.

I’ve seen you’ve upgraded Leehom Wang to 179cm, Fair Enough.
But, Takeshi should b 179cm too, as I initially thought he had more of a chance of measuring it more than Leehom Does!
In fact, I thought Takeshi would hold 179cm, while Leehom could still be 5’10.5” Max.

Rob, Maybe 179cm could be closer?
Editor Rob180cm I feel is a bit high, but 178-9cm is possible, either of those figures I feel you can argue.
Junior said on 12/Dec/17
I think Kaneshiro is 179cm look near 5'11 sometimes but not quite and 5'10.25" look a bit low.

@fa, Seriously, you're going by what agencies claim? Haven't you learnt anything at all from this site? Celebs are rarely what they claim, agencies are paid to promote said stars by said star in the best light possible...

@fa, I said 'probably', so not sure. They look like some funky kungfu boots that don't have much sole, Takeshi is in typical 1 inch dress shoes.
@mr.rashi, erh..., yes some do, insole lifts are pretty popular in South Korea.

@FA Jun Hu is not a full 6'1, he is listed 184cm. More Chance he is under 184cm than over it. Since you know, practically everyone rounds up!
Takeshi is around 175-177 in my books and so is Chang Chen. They are weak 5'10 at best, 5'9 is probably more on the money.

@FA: "i can c 2 or almost 3 inches between them." Almost 3 inches means he is under 5'10, go and hit up some images with Rob and 5'10 guys to see what two inches look like.
Anyway Jun Hu is kind of leaning there and taking into account of camera angle and perspective, his eye level is almost level with the top of Takeshi's head.

No way is Louis Koo 1.80m-1.81m barefoot.

Dunno about Jet li but both Donnie Yen and Andy Lau both fib their heights, Andy Lau wears lifts.
Most Asian stars fib their height, Louis Koo for example is listed 5ft11/1.80m but only looks 5ft9 next to Daniel Wu.

i saw fallen angels yesterday and in one scene there was a height chart in the backround. he hit the 175 mark but was goofing around. so i guess he isnt quite 178cm.

I peg him at 175 max, he never looks tall or tallish like many true 5'10ers can pull off with proper camera work. Maybe even 5'8"...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.
