[KineJapan] Kawachi Tamio

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

The actor Kawachi Tamio has died at the age of 79. Kawachi never really became a big star, but he has become known abroad because of the recent release by Criterion of two of his starring films, The Warped Ones and Black Sun, both directed by Kurahara Koreyoshi. Kawachi started acting at Nikkatsu while still in college, and became an established figure in films by Kurahara and Suzuki Seijun. He left Nikkatsu for Toei and starred in the 9-film Mamushi kyodai series with Sugawara Bunta in the 1970s. He also appeared in many TV dramas, including one last year.
