[KineJapan] Umemiya Tatsuya

[Gerow Aaron]

The actor Umemiya Tatsuya died on the 12th at the age of 81. Born in Manchuria, he debuted at Toei in 1958 and starred in the Shonen Tanteidan series, based on Edogawa Ranpo’s stories. He appeared in many gangster and ninkyo films in the 1960s, including the Furyo Bancho series. Those abroad probably remember him for his roles in Fukasaku Kinji's Battles without Honor and Humanity series and other jitsuryoku yakuza films. He also appeared in many TV dramas, hosted his own food show, and was a regular on variety shows. R.I.P.
