Personal Information
Born on 20 February 1894 in Kotesashi Village, located in the Iruma District of Saitama Prefecture (now part of Tokorozawa), Hidari Bokuzen was a Japanese actor and comedian who passed away on 26 May 1971. His filmography includes notable appearances in Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, The Lower Depths, and Ikiru. Hidari became widely recognized by Japanese audiences for his portrayals of meek and downtrodden men. Despite being a teetotaller, he was particularly renowned for delivering convincing drunk scenes, with his performance in Ikiru standing out as a prime example.
