Teruyuki Kagawa (香川かがわ 照之てるゆき, Kagawa Teruyuki, born December 7, 1965) is a Japanese actor, kabuki actor (as Ichikawa Chusha IX (きゅう代目だいめ 市川いちかわ中車ちゅうしゃ, Kyūdaime Ichikawa Chūsha)), and boxing commentator.

Biography

[edit]

Born in 1965, his parents are kabuki actor Ichikawa Ennosuke III and cinema actress Yuko Hama. His grandmother is film actress Sanae Takasugi.

In the Kabuki world, it is common for the son of an actor to follow in his father's footsteps from a very early age, but his parents divorced in 1968 and his mother was given custody. After that, he totally lost contact with his father, and his mother refused to give him any training in the Kabuki art and he grew believing that it was "something that must not be watched". However he tried several times to meet his biological father. When he was 20, he went to one of his performances and asked if he could see him, stating that he was Ennosuke's son, but when his father's assistants reported to him the situation he refused, stating that he didn't have any son.

He graduated in social psychology at the University of Tokyo and decided to start a career in cinema.

Sexual harassment

[edit]

On August 24, 2022, a Japanese media outlet reported that Kagawa had forcibly touched a woman in July, 2019. Kagawa admitted to the sexual misconduct through his agency, Lotus Roots, on August 25, 2022.[1]

Career

[edit]

He has twice been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor award at the Japanese Academy Awards, once for Warau Iemon and once for Kita no zeronen. He won the award for best supporting actor at the 33rd Japan Academy Prize for Mt. Tsurugidake.[2]

Reconciliation with his father

[edit]

His first son Masaaki, born in 2004, showed interest in becoming a Kabuki actor. As a result, Teruyuki tried again to meet with his aged father and succeeded.[3]

At the same time, he decided to start his own career in Kabuki at 46,[4] an age which is extremely unusual for an actor. The only other time someone was initiated into the Kabuki world as a fully grown adult was in 1910, when Ichikawa Danjuro IX's adopted and then son-in-law Ichikawa Sansho V decided to start his career at age 28 after his adoptive father's death.[5]

In June 2012,[6] it was announced[7] at their father and cousin's Shūmei that he and his son would take the names of Ichikawa Chusha IX[6] and Ichikawa Danko V.[6]
