Toshiro Mifune (1920-1997) appeared in more than
130 films. He was discovered in 1946 by the great director,
Akira Kurosawa, during an open audition at Toho studios. In
his book, Something Like an Autobiography, Mr.
Kurosawa observes, "I'm a person who is rarely impressed by
actors, but in the case of Mifune I was completely
overwhelmed."
Mr. Mifune attained international fame for his role as
the bandit Tajomaru in Mr. Kurosawa's Rashomon , which
won the 1951 Venice Film Festival Grand Prix. Mr.
Mifune won the Venice Film Festival best actor awards for
his roles in Akira Kurosawa's films Yojimbo (1961)
and Red Beard  (1964).
