Toshiro Mifune


 

Toshiro Mifune (三船 敏郎 Mifune Toshirō) (April 1, 1920 - December 24, 1997) was a Japanese actor who appeared in almost 170 feature films.

Childhood

Mifune was born on April 1, 1920 in Tsingtao (now Qingdao), China to Japanese parents, and he grew up in Dalian with his parents and two siblings. In his youth, Mifune worked in the photography shop of his father Tokuzo, a commercial photographer and importer who had emigrated from northern Japan. Tokuzo was a Methodist, and there is evidence that he was also a missionary, ministering to the ethnic Japanese in Dalian.

Although the young Toshiro spent the first 19 years of his life in China, and could even speak Mandarin, he drafted into the Imperial Japanese Air Force, where he served in the Aerial Photography (Ko-type) unit during the Second World War. He repatriated to Japan in 1946.
