His other notable performances include Saburo Ichimonji in another Kurosawa epic, *[Ran](/source/Ran_(film))*, and the legendary [yamabushi](/source/Yamabushi), [Musashibo Benkei](/source/Benkei), in [Sogo Ishii](/source/Sogo_Ishii)'s critically acclaimed *[Gojoe: Spirit War Chronicle](/source/Gojoe%3A_Spirit_War_Chronicle)*.

On March 21, 2015, Ryu travelled to [Taiwan](/source/Taiwan), where he was to perform in the [Martin Scorsese](/source/Martin_Scorsese) film *[Silence](/source/Silence_(2016_film))*. Upon arrival at [Taoyuan International Airport](/source/Taoyuan_International_Airport), he was stopped by immigration officials due to having an incomplete entry form. Ryu, who was intoxicated at the time, engaged in an altercation with one of the officers, who sustained a fractured leg. He was indicted and prohibited from leaving Taiwan, and subsequently fired from the production of *Silence*.[4] In May, 2015, Ryu reconciled with the injured official and publicly apologized for his actions. In June, he was fined by Taiwanese courts for his part in the incident and allowed to return to Japan.[5]
