Personal life

Joe Odagiri was born in Tsuyama, Okayama prefecture. Though he was accepted by Kochi University, he turned it down for an opportunity to study in the United States. He had originally intended to study film directing at California State University, Fresno, but mistakes in the application process landed him in acting classes.[2] He often says that Fresno is his second hometown.[3]

On December 27, 2007, at a news conference in Tokyo, Odagiri announced his engagement to actress Yuu Kashii, who is exactly 11 years younger than him.[4] Together they have two children. On April 24, 2015, Odagiri's younger son died due to intestinal ileus.[5]
