Hiroki Hasegawa
Hiroki Hasegawa (長谷川博己, Hasegawa Hiroki), nicknamed Hasehiro-sama (ハセヒロ様), (born March 7, 1977 in Tokyo) is a Japanese stage, film, and television actor. He is a versatile actor, who can play a romantic heartthrob (Second Virgin), a disillusioned young man full of ennui who awakens to the meaning of life through his medical practices in a depopulated island (Kumo no Kaidan), and a tragic samurai whose integrity and sincerity work against him (Yae no Sakura). Trained as a stage actor at the Bungaku-za after graduating from Chuo University, he first began to appear on Japanese TV in small roles in 2008, and then in films in 2011. His most recent film performance can be seen in Sion Sono’s Why Don’t You Play in Hell? as the young, passionate, and slightly deranged film-director wannabe, Don Hirata. The film won the People’s Choice Midnight Madness Award at the Toronto International Film Festival 2013.

Hasegawa
Hasegawa (written: 長谷川 literally "long valley river") is a Japanese surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Hasegawa Corporation
The Hasegawa Corporation (株式会社ハセガワ, Kabushiki Gaisha Hasegawa) is a company that manufactures plastic model kits of a variety of vehicles, including model aircraft, model cars, model ships, model armor, model space craft and science fiction kits. Based in Shizuoka, Japan, Hasegawa competes against its neighbor, Tamiya, though it does not have as large a line of products.
Description
Primarily using polystyrene, Hasegawa kits are typically regarded as very accurate, but without quite the ease-of-assembly that Tamiya kits offer, though of very high standard nonetheless. Currently, Hasegawa kits are imported into North America by Hobbico's Great Planes Model Distributor division. Hasegawa ended their long-time agreement with Dragon Models Limited for US distribution in early 2010. Hasegawa also imports Revell kits into Japan and sells them under both the Revell brand and its own brand label, and Revell frequently re-boxes Hasegawa kits for the European and North American markets.
