# Tatsuya Nakadai

Tatsuya Nakadai (仲 代 達 矢, Nakadai Tatsuya, nom real Motohisa Nakadai; Tòquio, 13 de desembre de 1932) és un actor de cinema japonès famós per la gran varietat de personatges que ha retratat i per les moltes col·laboracions amb cèlebres directors de cinema japonesos.
Ha participat en 11 pel·lícules dirigides per Masaki Kobayashi, incloent-hi la trilogia The Human Condition, en la qual va interpretar el paper del protagonista Kaji, Harakiri, Samurai Rebellion i Kwaidan.
Nakadai va treballar amb diversos cineastes molt coneguts del Japó: va protagonitzar o coprotagonitzar cinc pel·lícules dirigides per Akira Kurosawa, a més d'aparèixer en altres pel·lícules importants, dirigides per Hiroshi Teshigahara (The Face of Another), Mikio Naruse (When a Woman Ascends the Stairs), Kihachi Okamoto (Kill! i The Sword of Doom), Hideo Gosha (Goyokin), Shirō Toyoda (Portrait of Hell) i Kon Ichikawa (Enjō i Odd Obsession).

## Biografia

Nakadai va créixer en una família molt pobra i no va poder pagar una formació universitària, cosa que va fer que decidís convertir-se en actor. Admirava molt les pel·lícules americanes i era un gran aficionat d'actors com John Wayne i Marlon Brando. També es va aficionar als musicals de Broadway, i viatjava un cop a l'any a Nova York per veure'ls. Nakadai treballava com a oficinista a Tòquio abans que una trobada casual amb el director Masaki Kobayashi el portés a aparèixer a la pel·lícula The Thick-Walled Room. L'any següent, va realitzar un cameo breu i no acreditat a Shichinin no Samurai on és vist durant uns segons interpretant un samurai que camina per la ciutat. El paper de Nakadai a Seven Samurai és tècnicament el seu debut, ja que l'estrena de The Thick-Walled Room es va retardar tres anys a causa d'un assumpte controvertit. El seu salt a la fama com a actor va tenir lloc quan li van atorgar el paper de Jo, un jove yakuza a Black River, una altra pel·lícula dirigida per Kobayashi. Nakadai va continuar treballant amb Kobayashi a la dècada dels seixanta i va guanyar el seu primer premi Blue Ribbon Award pel seu paper a Harakiri (la preferida entre totes les seves pel·lícules) com l'envellit rōnin Hanshiro Tsugumo.
Nakadai va aparèixer en dues pel·lícules més de Kurosawa a la dècada dels vuitanta. A Kagemusha Nakadai interpreta tant al famós dàimio Takeda Shingen i al lladre que es farà passar per ell, substituint-lo. Aquest paper doble el va portar a guanyar el seu segon premi Blue Ribbon Award al millor actor. A Ran Nakadai interpreta un altre daimyo, Hidetora Ichimonji (basat lleugerament en el Rei Lear de l'obra de Shakespeare, King Lear i inspirat pel daimyo històric Mōri Motonari).
Va ensenyar i formar joves actors prometedors com Kōji Yakusho, Mayumi Wakamura, Tōru Masuoka, Azusa Watanabe, Kenichi Takitō entre d'altres.
L'any 2015, va rebre la insígnia Order of Culture.
