My Take
Say Masakazu Tamura's name in Japan and people reach for Furuhata Ninzaburo, that stooped walk and those fluttering hands. What impresses me is the road there: swordplay in Nemuri Kyoshiro, light romance in Papa wa Newscaster, comedy in between. He never rebuilt himself for a role. He changed how he stood. He died in 2021, aged 77.
