What was the reasoning behind casting a Japanese rock star as a sadistic Japanese World War II prison guard?

I saw Unbroken.

Really good book. Mediocre movie at best.

Having said it, the movie makers cast a Japanese rock star as “The Bird”, the sadistic guard who tormented Louis Zamperini.

I simply can’t believe the choice was made because this guy brings “The Bird” to credible life on the screen. It had to be something else. What?
