Kuniyoshi Tanaka has acted in "Love in the North Country", "Pursuit", "Betrayal", "Extraordinary Courage", "Eight Tombs Village", "Shinkansen Explosion" and so on. One of his most familiar classic roles for Chinese moviegoers is the famous villain Keiji Yokoji in the movie "The Hunt".
The popularity of playing "Horizontal Road into Two" is also the youth memory of a generation of Chinese
Not long ago, Wu Mengda, the "golden green leaf" of the Chinese film industry, passed away, and now the "golden green leaf" Tanaka Kunwei, which is loved by the Japanese, has also melted in the blue sky. Because of the movie "The Hunt", Tanaka Kuniwei is also a Japanese actor who is familiar and loved by Chinese film fans after the 60s and 70s. In 1976, the film caused a sensation when it was released in Japan. Two years later, The Hunt was also introduced to China.
In 1978, with the signing of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Sino-Japanese relations entered a honeymoon period, and official and non-governmental exchanges became increasingly warm. A significant highlight of the cultural exchange was the introduction, translation, and release of the first Japanese film, The Hunt. The film caused a huge sensation when it was released in China.
Keiji Yokoji, played by Kuniyoshi Tanaka, is one of the main supporting characters in the Japanese film The Hunt. At the behest of Nagaoka Suke (Akira Nishimura), he framed prosecutor Tohoto Toru (Ken Takakura) with his wife Yokoji Kayo (Hiroko Isayama), but was framed by Nagaoka and forced to take the neurotoxin "AX" and became a psychopath.
One of Japan's greatest supporting roles, he has worked with Ken Takakura twice
On November 23, 1932, Tanaka Kunihi was established in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. In 1954, he graduated from the English Department of Reize Junior College, entered the 7th class of freshmen in 1955, and two years later participated in imai's "Pure Love Story".
In 1967, Tanaka Kuniyoshi starred in "Young People" directed by Tokihisa Morikawa, in which he played the son of a construction engineer, which was highly acclaimed and won the Best Actor Award for the Mainichi Movie that year. Since then, he has established his status as an acting star.

He is also a star actor on television, having starred in the TV series "Northern National Conditions", etc., and is an excellent actor with a wide range of dramas and unique acting skills.
Birthdays are the same, and the yellow ape in One Piece is based on him
For post-80s and post-90s movie fans, you may not know who Tanaka Kuniyoshi is, but you must be familiar with his appearance. Because the three generals of the Navy Headquarters in the well-known anime "One Piece", Huang Ape, used him as a character archetype.
The yellow ape has short black hair and is a bit curly. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, a circle of stubble on his face, he was tall and thin, wearing a suit with yellow and white stripes, a purple tie, a dark green shirt, and white leather shoes. In The Voyager King, his personality is elusive, adhering to the concept of "ambiguous justice". Responsible for the Naval Science Corps led by Commander-in-Chief Mishimaru.
Interestingly, Japanese readers believe that the prototype of the yellow ape is Mr. Kunihiro Tanaka, so they want to set the birthday to be the same as Mr. Tanaka Kuniyoshi on November 23, and Eiichiro Oda, the original author of "One Piece", also agreed with this decision and set the birthday of the yellow ape as November 23.
