TV actor Kagawa set to debut in Kabuki play
Established actor Teruyuki Kagawa made headlines in late September when he announced he would make his debut as a Kabuki actor next year, because performers of the traditional dramatic form usually make their first stage appearance when they are toddlers.
Teruyuki Kagawa keeps secrets in terrific Tokyo Sonata. An engrossing story, assured technique and a calm, clear look at personal and social collapse place Tokyo Sonata alongside works by such masters as Jean Renoir and Akira Kurosawa.
