Upon his arrival, all his money was stolen and he became homeless. In order to survive, he started performing on the streets of Times Square where his first day tally after performing 8-hours was a mere $4.00.All his endurance and hard work was rewarded when Edward Zwick cast Yuki forThe Last Samuri(2003). He began booking roles in such films asDrunken Sword(2005) and Roku(2005). Next Clint Eastwood cast him as Nozaki inLetters from Iwo Jima(2006). Eastwood favored Yuki for his unique preparation.
