Corrected entry: A computer printout states that Takagi was born in 1937 and that he served on the aircraft carrier Akagi in 1940. It is impossible that a three-year old would be assigned to the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Die Hard (1988)
Correction: The record shown (while the password for the vault is being hacked) isn't for Takagi - the picture is of a different man, presumably his grandfather. Gruber says Takagi was born in 1937, the family emigrated to California in 1939, and were interned 1942-43. Presumably his grandfather stayed in Japan and fought in the battles listed onscreen, on the carrier Akagi.

Correction: The image on the screen isn't a picture of James Shigeta (the actor who portrays Takagi). It's the records for the founder of the Nakatomi Corporation. Takagi was only the president and CEO, not the founder.
