Keanu's donation to cancer research amounts to 70% of the proceeds from The Matrix, according to a new report from entertainment news site LAD Bible. Mr. Kianu is said to have received $ 10 million (about 1.16 billion yen) as a contract money from 'The Matrix' and $ 35 million (about 4.07 billion yen) as a success fee for the movie's big hit. Therefore, it is calculated that the amount invested as a donation amounted to 31.5 million dollars (about 3.66 billion yen).

According to media reports, Keanu decided to donate because his sister, Kim Reeves, had been fighting leukemia for many years. Kim had been fighting illness for 10 years from the diagnosis of leukemia, also known as blood cancer, in 1991 to the remission in 2001.

Keanu and Kim are said to be particularly close brothers, and since Keanu's father left when he was two years old, he has traveled around the world with his mother, who has moved to Hawaii, Australia, New York, and Canada. It was Mr. Keanu who was taking care of Mr. Kim during his childhood.

Keanu is also known for setting up a charity to help children living with cancer. This charity has a secret group name because Mr. Kianu thought that it was better not to know the relationship with himself, and its existence was also 'individual from 5 or 6 years ago' in an interview in 2009. I run a foundation in Japan and support several children's hospitals and cancer research. I don't like to give my name, I leave it to the foundation. ' ..

While Kianu is often seen on the subway as a frugal person, he is known to be very generous with money other than himself, giving four stuntmen Rolex and 12 Harley-Davidson. There are often reports of episodes such as auctioning 15 minutes of online dating rights to donate proceeds, and agreeing to drastically reduce performance fees to increase production costs such as costumes and special effects. With the addition of this donation to these 'too good' episodes, the New York Post of the American newspaper spells out, 'This outstanding patron saint has done it again.'
