and death turns him down.
This is old news but Yosuke is one of my favorite Japanese actors... he was great in GO! and Kyoki no Sakura (probably one of my favs)

Actor Yosuke Kubozuka survived a fall from the balcony of his ninth-floor condominium in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture on Sunday, sustaining injuries, police said.
The 25-year-old up-and-coming actor fell about 26 meters, hit a wire mesh fence surrounding the condo building and landed on a lawn.
The police said much of the impact shock seems to have been absorbed by the 2-meter-tall fence. The incident occurred shortly after midday.
Kubozuka, who was conscious after the fall, was taken to a nearby hospital, the police said. There was no immediate information about the extent of his injuries.
The police quoted his wife as saying, "I thought I saw him walking toward the balcony and the next moment he was gone."
The police said they are going to question Kubozuka, suspecting he attempted to kill himself, although they have not found a suicide note.
A resident of the building saw Kubozuka fall and then called the police.
Kubozuka has played roles in films and television dramas, including the award-winning film "GO," which depicted the struggles of Korean residents of Japan.
He was married in May last year, and his wife gave birth to a son in October. (Kyodo News)
