Kiyoshi Atsumi

**Kiyoshi Atsumi** (渥美 清 *Atsumi Kiyoshi*), born **Yasuo Tadokoro** (田所 康雄 *Tadokoro Yasuo*, 10 mars 1928 – 4 gusht 1996), ishte një aktor japonez. Ai ka lindur në Tokio dhe e filloi karrierën e tij në vitin 1951 si komedian në një teatër strip-show në Asakusa. Pas dy vitesh lufte kundër tuberkulozit pulmonar, ai bëri debutimin e tij në TV më 1956 dhe në film më 1957. Performanca e tij e gjallë e një njeriu të dashur, të pafajshëm në filmin "I dashur zoti Perandor" (*Haikei Tenno-Heika-Sama*) në vitin 1963 krijoi reputacionin e tij si aktor.

Më vonë ai u bë ylli i serisë shumë të njohur të filmave Tora-san. Portretizimi i tij i personazheve kryesore zgjati nga filmi origjinal *Otoko wa Tsurai yo* (i përkthyer si 'Është e vështirë të jesh burrë') në vitin 1969 deri në filmin e 48-të të publikuar më 1995, një vit para vdekjes së tij. Suksesi i qëndrueshëm i serialit e bëri atë sinonim me personazhin Tora-san dhe kur vdiq në Tokio, shumë japonezë e konsideruan vdekjen e tij si vdekjen e personazhit Tora-san, jo vdekjen e aktorit Yasuo Tadokoro ose Kiyoshi Atsumi.
