Biography

[edit]

After leaving high school prematurely, Ozawa started acting in the left-wing theatre groups Toho Sayoku Gekijo and Shinkyo Gekidan.[1] He gave his film debut at the P.C.L. film studio (later Toho) in 1935.[2] In 1940, the authorities ordered the dissolution of the Shinkyo Gekidan and arrested many of its members, including Ozawa, who was forced to change his stage name Sakae to his real name Eitarō.[1] After his release, he joined the Shochiku studio and starred in films by Tomu Uchida, Tomotaka Tasaka and Keisuke Kinoshita.[1] In 1944, he co-founded the Haiyuza theatre group, but was drafted in the same year.[1] After the war, he returned to the Haiyuza and started appearing in films again such as Yasujirō Ozu's Record of a Tenement Gentleman (1947), Akira Kurosawa's Scandal (1950) and Mizoguchi's Ugetsu (1953) and The Crucified Lovers (1954).[1] For a few years, he took his former stage name Sakae again, before ultimately returning to Eitarō.[1]

In addition to acting, Ozawa was active as a director of stage plays, including Bertolt Brecht's The Good Person of Szechwan which he had seen performed in Berlin,[4] and as a writer.[1]
