## History

Akado Suzunosuke "Chocozy kid, give your name!"

Based on the manga by Tsunayoshi Takeuchi, which was serialized in the monthly manga magazine "Shonen Gaho" from July 1954 (August issue), the radio drama was from January 1957 to February 1959 by Radio Tokyo (currently TBS). It was broadcast on the radio).

The serial radio drama "Akado Suzunosuke", which begins with "Akado Suzunosuke!", Was very popular among children when I finally started to get sick.

Everyone imitated the "vacuum slash".

Looking at the list of performers, the narrator was Akiko Santō, Shusaku Chiba was Yasuo Hisamatsu, and Shinobu was Yumiko Fujita.

Also, I was surprised that Tornado Rainoshin was Akira Takarada!

Sayuri Yoshinaga was in charge of the voice of Shusaku Chiba's daughter, Sayuri, in this radio broadcast, and was selected by audition one month before the start of the broadcast.

This radio broadcast was for Sayuri Yoshinaga when she made her debut in the entertainment world by voice and was in the sixth grade of elementary school.

The video debut is "Maboroshi Detective".

The stage name Sayuri is also Sayuri Yoshinaga, and the popularity of this radio "Sayuri" is high, so it seems that she decided to use her real name as it is.

Due to the popularity of the original manga and radio dramas, nine movies have been produced in the two years from 1957 to 1983, and the first to seventh works are Shoji Umewaka's Akado Suzunosuke, and the eighth work. The ninth work was Taro Momoyama.

The protagonist changed from Shoji Umewaka to Taro Momoyama. Shoji Umewaka, who was 18 years old at the time, became a star at Akado Suzunosuke, and became ecstatic about his popularity. He was given guidance by Daiei because he showed a proud attitude, such as being angry that the car he picked up was a domestic car, and he was replaced by a foreign car, and the leading role was changed to Taro Momoyama.

In addition, Tamao Nakamura played the role of Shinobu, but he was replaced by Suzuko Asano (Junko Asano) and 10 years old (later Mrs. Kyosen Ohashi) in line with Taro Momoyama, who was 15 years old.

However, contrary to Daiei's thoughts, Akado Suzunosuke's appearance has a strong image of Shoji Umewaka, and Taro Momoyama's Akado Suzunosuke has finished with two works.

Incorporating the movement to widen the movie, "Akado Suzunosuke" also became a wide screen Daiei scope (cinema scope) in the latter half of 1958. What is CinemaScope? A type of widescreen movie. At the time of shooting, the width of the image is compressed using a cylindrical lens, and at the time of projection, a special lens is used again to magnify and project the screen at an aspect ratio of 1: 2/35 (usually 3: 4). "Toho Scope" This method was first adopted by Toho in July 1957, and the widening of the "On Wings of Love" screen was far ahead of the United States, which was also an advanced TV country, and was produced in 1953. The 20th century FOX work was the first (released in Japan in 1954). In FOX, this method was called "cinemascope". That's why this widescreen came to be commonly called "Cinesco", but this name "Cinesco" could not be used by other companies because FOX had a patent.

Since there is no choice, each company independently called itself "○○ Scope".

In Japanese movies, it was common for Toho to be called "Toho Scope", Nikkatsu to be called "Nikkatsu Scope", and Toei to be called "Toei Scope". There was also a company that had a funny name, "Great Cinesco".

This time, I would like to introduce Akado Suzunosuke (Shoji Umewaka)'s face or bromide (upper right). The

movie's widening cinema scope (Daiei scope) has been skillfully incorporated into a horizontally long size. It is a rare item. Nostalgic hero "Akado Suzunosuke" original version
