Taiji Tonoyama
Taiji Tonoyama is a durable actor with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. Neither the cinema nor the television half of the career can be called the side project. Old Beggar in 'In the Realm of the Senses' is the role that outgrew the rest. Among the rest of the work, 'Onibaba' stands out.
