Arata Furuta

Furuta is skilled enough to hide the skill. Every choice is clearly built, yet it lands as though it occurred to him a second earlier, which is the hardest thing in acting. Kobe, 1965, born Takefumi, trained at Osaka University of Arts and hardened by the stage company Gekidan Shinkansen. A scene changes temperature when he walks into it.
