Masakazu Tamura died
Famous actor Masakazu Tamura died of heart failure on the afternoon of April 3 at the age of 77, and the obituary was not exposed until May 18, shocking the show business circle. The reason why the interval was so long stemmed from his last wish: he wanted to leave quietly.
Masakazu Tamura was born in Kyoto in 1943, the third son of Japanese period drama superstar Sakato's wife Saburo. He aspired to inherit his father's mantle from an early age, debuted on the screen in high school, and in college, he did not worry about film contracts, and completed his studies while acting.
However, due to his voice and more ordinary appearance, at the beginning of entering the acting world, Tamura Masakazu appeared in supporting roles. In 1969, he starred in the costume film "Sleep Crazy Shiro", and his melancholy image captured the hearts of many female audiences;
In the 1980s, Masakazu Tamura, together with his eldest brother Takahiro Tamura and his younger brother Ryo Tamura, often starred in film and television works in the form of a combination known as the "Tamura Three Brothers", which became a topic of conversation for a while, and also received many advertisements, making him a household name in Japan.
His masterpiece "Renzaburo Furuhata" was once the winner of Japanese drama ratings, almost on a par with "Tokyo Love Story", and Masakazu Tamura's performance in the play made him win multiple awards and become the most popular star of the year, and the drama was also rated as an insurmountable divine drama.
Masakazu Tamura's role as Furuhata is different from the tall, strong, righteous, or brave and warlike criminal policemen in the past, but looks inconspicuous, but with a meticulous level of reasoning and witty words and deeds, especially the interaction with his subordinate Imazumi, the audience is refreshed. The series aired for 12 years and has always maintained a high standard and high ratings.
Takuya Kimura, who starred in "Renzaburo Furuhata," once said that Masakazu Tamura was his idol.
