He greatly admired American films and was a fan of actors such as John Wayne and Marlon Brando. Nakadai was working as a shop clerk in Tokyo before a chance encounter with director Masaki Kobayashi led to him being cast in the film ''The Thick Walled Room''. The following year, he made a brief and uncredited cameo in ''Seven Samurai'' where he is seen for a few seconds as a samurai walking through town.Nakadai's role in Seven Samurai is technically his debut as ''The Thick-Walled Rooms release was delayed for three years due to controversial subject matter. His major breakthrough as an actor came when he was given the part of Jo, a young yakuza in ''Black River'', another film directed by Kobayashi. Nakadai continued to work with Kobayashi into the 1960s and won his first ''Blue Ribbon Award'' for his role in ''Harakiri'' as the aging ronin Hanshiro Tsugumo. Nakadai appeared in two Kurosawa films from the 1980s. In ''Kagemusha'' Nakadai plays both the titular thief turned body-double and the famous ''daimyo'' Takeda Shingen whom the thief is tasked with impersonating. This dual role helped him win his second ''Blue Ribbon Award'' for Best Actor. In ''Ran'' Nakadai plays another daimyo, Hidetora Ichimonji, who is loosely based on King Lear from Shakespeare's play ''King Lear''. He taught and trained promising young actors including Kōji Yakusho, Mayumi Wakamura, Tōru Masuoka, Azusa Watanabe, Kenichi Takitō and others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= 無名塾公演「おれたちは天使じゃない」 @ウェスタ川越 大ホール )〕 In 2015, he received the Order of Culture. 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「Tatsuya Nakadai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
