Kosuke Ota’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Kosuke Ota was born on Thursday, 23 July 1987, in Tokyo, Japan. The Sun moved from Cancer into Leo at about 18:05 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Cancer for a birth before then, Leo after. The Moon was in Gemini until about 12:15 and in Cancer afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Kosuke turns 39 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Kosuke; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is four fire, three water, one earth and no air, leaving out the Sun and the Moon, whose signs depend on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and two. The tightest aspect is Neptune sextile Pluto, about 1.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 23 July, among them Daniel Radcliffe, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Woody Harrelson. Julian Nagelsmann and Luiz Gustavo were born on the very same day.

Kosuke Ota’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 18:05, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 18:05: Sun in Cancer
A Cancer Sun protects. For Kosuke Ota, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Born after about 18:05: Sun in Leo
A Leo Sun shines. For Kosuke that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 12:15, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 12:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Kosuke, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
Born after about 12:15: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Kosuke that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Tokyo, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Kosuke Ota’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Kosuke yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 23 July 1987, computed for Tokyo, Japan.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 23 July 1987, with only the aspects that held all day. The Moon may stand up to eight degrees either side of where it is drawn. The Sun is drawn at its midday place; it moved from Cancer into Leo at about 18:05, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

Kosuke Ota’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Kosuke Ota’s private life.
Sun in Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 18:05, then Leo
purpose and vitality
Born before about 18:05: Sun in Cancer
With the Sun in Cancer, Kosuke Ota is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
Born after about 18:05: Sun in Leo
Purpose for Kosuke is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 12:15, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 12:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Kosuke is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Born after about 12:15: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Kosuke's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Kosuke probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Kosuke that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Kosuke its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Aries
28° Aries 29' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Kosuke's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Kosuke is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Sagittarius
23° Sagittarius 21' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Kosuke than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Capricorn
5° Capricorn 59' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Kosuke and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Scorpio
7° Scorpio 09' at midday
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Kosuke's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Aspects in Kosuke Ota’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Sun square Jupiter
about 1.3° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Kosuke Ota may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 3.0° at midday
Kosuke's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Kosuke can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Mars square Pluto
about 3.3° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, Kosuke's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Mercury opposition Neptune
about 4.2° at midday
Under Mercury opposite Neptune, clear thinking competes with the lure of an appealing story or a hopeful assumption. Checking conclusions against plain evidence keeps Kosuke on firm ground, without asking them to give up the imagination that makes their thinking interesting in the first place.
Mars trine Saturn
about 4.6° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Kosuke is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Jupiter trine Uranus
about 5.1° at midday
Jupiter trine Uranus gives Kosuke a knack for spotting unconventional opportunities before other people do, which is what a sense of possibility and originality produce together. Growth arrives through new directions, ones a more cautious approach would probably have missed.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.
