Mark Zuckerberg didn't show up at press conferences in Japan before The Social Network opened there, so instead they invited this guy, comedian Shigeo Takahashi, who makes at least part of his living posing like his famous doppelganger.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

But now I'm curious about the Japanese version of The Social Network. Regardless of whether it was subbed or dubbed, that script must've been a bear to translate.
