[edit] Bio
Born in December 7, 1965 in Tokyo, Japan, Teruyuki Kagawa has steadily gained recognition internationally through acclaimed films such as director Jiang Wen’s DEVILS ON THE DOORSTEP, the winner of the Grand Prix Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, as well as director Akira Ogata’s BOY’S CHOIR, the winner of the Alfred Bauer Award at the Berlin International Film Festival of the same year. Other awards include the Tokyo Film Festival award for Best Actor for the Chinese film NUAN (2003), as well as the Best Supporting Actor honor for Junji Sakamoto’s KT (2002) by the respected Kinema Junpo Awards, among others.
In 2006, SWAY, a film by director Miwa Nishikawa in which Kagawa starred opposite Joe Odagiri, was the only Japanese film selected for the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. With his performance of a small-town man suddenly faced with a mysterious murder, Kagawa earned the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Japanese Academy Awards. A frequent nominee at the Japanese Academy Awards, Kagawa was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 2008 for his performance in the hit film KISARAGI.
Kagawa’s repertoire continues to build with roles in both prize-winning independent cinema as well as major Japanese blockbusters like HERO (2007) and director Takashi Miike’s SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO (2007), also starring Quentin Tarantino.
