As the first generation of Japanese dramas to be introduced into China, the TV series "Blood Doubt" (1975) has touched countless Chinese audiences, in which Sachiko's (Yamaguchi Momoe) illness has touched the hearts of countless Chinese audiences, and the image of "good father" created by Uzui Ken is also loved by the audience. Beginning in the 1970s, Ken Uzui collaborated with Momoe Yamaguchi on several occasions to play the personable and reasonable father role in the "Red" tv series, becoming one of the favorite male actors of Japanese audiences and considered the "ideal father".
On March 14, 2014, the "Good Daddy" actor and veteran Japanese actor Ken Uzui passed away in Tokyo at the age of 83 due to illness.

In 1965, Ken Uzui starred in the TV series "Prosecutor", began to enter the television industry and began to become really popular.
But the image that Uzui Ken is most familiar with and loved by Chinese audiences is his father "Shigeru Oshima" in the TV series "Blood Doubt". In the early 1980s, "Blood Doubt" was introduced into China, which was the first time that Chinese audiences were baptized by such a high-concentration emotional TV series. "Shigeru Oshima", played by Ken Uzui, is an associate professor of radiology at the Faculty of Medicine of Toto University, and although he is not Sachiko's biological father, he regards Sachiko as his own, and in order to save his daughter's life, he fights against death again and again. Ken Uzui delicately interprets a man's deep fatherly love and strong sense of responsibility for his family, leaving a deep impression on Chinese audiences.
In 1984, after "Blood Doubt" became popular all over the country, Ken Uzui came to China as a special guest to participate in the Sino-Japanese Youth Friendship Gala, and brought greetings from Momoe Yamaguchi and Yukazu Miura. It was also in this exchange that UzuI Ken told the Chinese media that he also strives to be a good father and a good husband in real life, "I play a righteous father on the stage, and I also want to be a good father at home." If you don't do a good father, you are not a sound actor. ”
The father-daughter relationship between Ken Uzui and Momoe Yamaguchi has become a good story in the Japanese entertainment industry. In 1973, Yamaguchi played the daughter of Ken Uzui in her earlier work, "顔でって/Forcing a Smile".

Ken Uzui and Momoe Yamaguchi starred in 4 of the 7 films, and they all appeared in the form of father-daughter files. Due to their work relationship, Ken Uzui and Momoe Yamaguchi formed a friendship. Uzui Ken has only one son in his life.
During the filming of Blood Doubt, Ken Uzui said to Momoe Yamaguchi, "You have to think of me as your father, and I see you as your own daughter." At that time, Yamaguchi Washie was only 16 years old, and in order to cultivate a father-daughter relationship, he accompanied Baihui to the street to buy things and eat together. He couldn't stop crying when he saw Sachiko's face in front of the camera.

Hours after Japanese media released news of Ken Uzui's death, Ken Uzui's family responded to the media for the first time in the early morning of March 15, saying that Ken Uzui passed away at 18:05 yesterday due to chronic respiratory insufficiency, and his family was accompanied when he left. Having undergone surgery for emphysema many times before, Utsui Ken has always been well aware of his physical condition and remained optimistic until his death.
According to Uzui Ken's last wishes, the vigil and farewell ceremony will be held only within the family, and only a small number of family members and friends will attend. The official memorial service will be held on March 16.
Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi, who had long been married, formed a deep friendship with Ken Uzui when filming "Blood Doubt". After learning the news of Ken Uzui's death, Yuwa Miura expressed shock, "Last year I heard that Mr. Ken Uzui was not in good health, but it was not a big problem. But how could he suddenly pass away now? I was shocked, and I haven't reacted yet. ”

"It's hard for us to do anything for him anymore, and that's the only way we can express our remembrance."
In addition, many artists such as Yuki Nakama and Norika Fujiwara, who have worked with Ken Uzui, are saddened by Ken Uzui's departure. Nakama Yuki, who has a deep relationship with Ken Uzui because of many film and television works such as "Extreme Path Fresh Master", admits that when he heard the news of his death, his mood was indescribable, "It felt like the elders closest to him had suddenly left." In the past, when we were shooting different works in the same filming area, Uzu-sensei would always come to visit the class for the first time and say that he would come to see his granddaughter. Now when I think of him, his smile immediately appears in front of my eyes. Sincerely pray for Uzu Sensei's blessings! ”
Jian Zhaoqiang, an actor who voiced "Shigeru Oshima" played by Ken Uzui in Mandarin, recalled in an interview that 1984 was the first time the two met, and there was a feeling of hero cherishing heroes, "His whole person is the best endorsement of Shigeru Oshima." The two people, who were infected by art, also shared a lot of life.
Jian Zhaoqiang revealed that when filming "Blood Doubt", Uzu Iken's wife was also suffering from leukemia, and during the filming, he served his sick daughter Sachiko in the drama during the day, and at night he had to rush home to take care of his wife, which made Jian Zhaoqiang deeply moved.
