Masakazu Tamura (田村正和 Tamura Masakazu) is a Japanese film and theatre actor.

Profile

Masakazu Tamura was born 1 August 1943 in Kyoto, Japan to Japanese actor Tsumasaburo Bando. His family also boasts an actor brothers of Takahiro Tamura and Ryo Tamura. Thus Tamura grew up no stranger to the theatrical arts, from even a very young age. He was thus trained in fighting with swords and more traditional forms of Japanese theatre like Kabuki.

He made his debut in movies with the film "Eternal Woman" in 1961.

He is most famous for his role as the polite and highly idiosyncratic police detective, Furuhata Ninzaburo, in a self-titled drama by Japanese playwright Koki Mitani. This drama was one of the most popular in its time and one of the most popular dramas in the history of Japanese television. There are rumours that while the character was based on Matlock, the characteristics, speech patterns and easily imitable fashion sense are based on that of writer Koki Mitani's scholar and famed professor of philosophy, Yoichiro Murakami. Tamura himself afterwards mentioned that he regretted taking the role, because it ended up typecasting him. He also appeared in many staged dramas (jidaigeki).
