Kamatari Fujiwara (藤原 釜足 ''Fujiwara Kamatari'', January 15, 1905 - December 21, 1985) was a Japanese actor. He was born in Tokyo, on January 15, 1905, in Tokyo, Japan. Fujiwara's parents ran a printing business. The business did not go well, so at the age of 10, Fujiwara started working at a local confectionery store. By the age of 14 he started selling timber for building and manufacturing in Shizuoka prefecture. A year later he returned to Tokyo to study as a pharmacist. Fukiwara worked regularly and extensively with Akira Kurosawa, and was known for both being adept at comic acting, as well as being able to do serious roles 〔http://www.kurosawamovies.com/actors.htm〕 == Initial work with Asakusa Opera Movement == The Asakusa Opera Movement was started in 1916, and was part of the mass culture of the time.〔Yoshida, Yukhiko “Lee Tsia-oe and Baku Ishii before 1945” Pan Asian Journal of Sports and Physical Fitness p57〕 By the 1920s it had become very popular. Fujiwara, inspired by this, enrolled at the Takinogawa actor school. After graduation, he approached actor Kuroki Kenzo to see if he would personally teach him acting. His first work was on stage as a chorist. Realising that he was short, not particularly attractive, and unlikely to have a main part on stage, he decided to diversify his skills for performance and started studying violin at Toyo music school. Following the Great Kantō earthquake, the Asakusa Opera movement started losing popularity. As a result, Fujiwara worked at the movie theatre as a violinist. where his lesser height and unattractiveness were not an issue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kamatari Fujiwara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
