BIOGRAPHY OF TADANOBU ASANO
Actor. One of the most loved Japanese actors by critics and audiences, he starts acting by chance at the age of 16 thanks to his father who, a film agent, introduces him to an audition for the television series ‘Kimpachi Sensei’ thanks to which he gets his first job . Thus began a career for him that will lead him to work in major international films but also in independent films highly appreciated by critics and gone unnoticed by the general public. In 1990, when he was only 17, he made his big screen debut in the teenage film ‘Swim Like Fish’. He goes beyond national borders with ‘Tabù – Gohatto’, by the master of Japanese cinema Nagisa Oshima (1999) and also with ‘Zatoichi’ (2003) by Takeshi Kitano, in which he plays the bodyguard, armed with katana, of the protagonist, interpreted by Kitano himself. In 2005 he starred in Kohei Oguri’s ‘The Buried Forest’, presented at the ‘Quinzaine des realisateurs’ of the 37th Cannes Film Festival, a delicate film that intertwines fairy tale and reality, unfortunately never released in Italy. Two years later he is the protagonist of ‘Mongol’ directed by Sergej Bodrov, in which he plays Temudzhin, known as Genghis Kahn, the great co-conqueror who by uniting the Mongolian tribes in a huge army managed to conquer much of Asia. The film, presented in competition at the second edition of the Rome Film Festival, gets the 2008 Oscar nomination for the best foreign film. He has been married since 1995 to the Japanese pop singer Chara, with whom he has two children, Sumiri and Himi.
