Wikipedia provides a brief rundown of Osugi’s major milestones:

Ren Osugi (大杉 漣 Ōsugi Ren), born Takashi Osugi (大杉 孝 Ōsugi Takashi, in Komatsushima, Tokushima, Japan) (September 27, 1951 – February 21, 2018[1]) was a Japanese actor. For his work in Cure, Hana-bi and other films, Osugi was given the Best Supporting Actor award at the 1999 Yokohama Film Festival. He often worked alongside Takeshi Kitano and Susumu Terajima. In the DVDcommentary to the mpd.psycho (TV Miniseries) series, director Takashi Miike said that he admired Osugi’s experience to shift quickly from comic and imbecilic to authoritative and earnest.

We wish the best for Osugi’s family and friends during this hard time.
