Ken Takakura (Japanese:高倉 健,Hepburn:Takakura Ken), bornTakeichi Oda (小田 剛一,Oda Takeichi; February 16, 1931 – November 10, 2014), was a Japanese actor and singer who appeared in over 200 films. Affectionately referred to as "Ken-san" by audiences, he was best known for his brooding style and the stoic presence he brought to his roles.[2] He won theJapan Academy Prize for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role four times, tied withKoji Yakusho for the most ever.[3] Takakura additionally received theJapanese Medal of Honor with purple ribbon in 1998, thePerson of Cultural Merit award in 2006, and theOrder of Culture in 2013.

Life and career

[edit]

Takakura was born inNakama, Fukuoka in 1931.[4] He attended Tochiku High School in nearbyYahata City, where he was a member of the boxing team and English society. It was around this time that he gained his streetwise swagger and tough-guy persona watchingyakuza movies.[5] This subject was covered in one of his most famous movies,Showa Zankyo-den (Remnants of Chivalry in the Showa Era), in which he played an honorable old-school yakuza among the violent post-war gangs.[4] After graduating fromMeiji University in Tokyo, Takakura attended an audition on impulse in 1955 at theToei Film Company while applying for a managerial position.[4]

Toei found a natural in Takakura as he debuted withDenko Karate Uchi (Lightning Karate Blow) in 1956.[6] In 1959 he married singerChiemi Eri, but divorced in 1971. His breakout role would be in the 1965 filmAbashiri Prison, and its sequelAbashiri Bangaichi: Bokyohen (Abashiri Prison: Longing for Home, also 1965), in which he played an ex-con antihero.[4] By the time Takakura left Toei in 1976, he had appeared in over 180 films.[5]

He gained international recognition after starring in the 1970 war filmToo Late the Hero as the cunning Imperial Japanese Major Yamaguchi, the 1974Sydney Pollack sleeper hitThe Yakuza withRobert Mitchum, and is probably best known in the West for his role inRidley Scott'sBlack Rain (1989). He again appeared to Western audiences with the 1992Fred Schepisi comedyMr. Baseball starringTom Selleck.[6]

Takakura was one of the few Japanese actors who experienced popularity in China, due to his appearance inJunya Satō's 1976 crime dramaKimi yo Fundo no Kawa o Watare (known in some territories asManhunt), the first foreign film shown after theCultural Revolution.[7][8] He also starred as the titular assassin in Junya Satō'sGolgo 13 (1973), a Japanese–Iranian production and the first live-action adaptation of the Japanesemanga seriesGolgo 13.

He appeared in three films since 2000:Hotaru (ホタル,The Firefly) in May 2001,Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, byChinese directorZhang Yimou, in late December 2005, andYasuo Furuhata'sAnata e (Dearest) in late August 2012, after a six-year hiatus.[9] He died oflymphoma on November 10, 2014.[10][3]Shintaro Ishihara described him as "the last big star (in Japan)."[11] A huge number of Chinese internet users expressed their sympathies and condolences, including many celebrities in the Chinese movie industry.[12] The spokesman of China'sMinistry of Foreign Affairs Hong Lei said that Takakura made significant contributions to the cultural exchange between China and Japan.[13]

A documentary based on Takakura's life entitledKen San premiered at the2016 Cannes Film Festival and was released in Japanese theaters on August 20, 2016.[14] It was directed by photographerYuichi Hibi and features interviews with filmmakers and actors such asMartin Scorsese,Paul Schrader,Michael Douglas,John Woo, andYoji Yamada.[15]
