Koji Mitsui Biography

Koji Mitsui is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on March 6, 1910 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

The son of a Shochiku movie theater owner, Mitsui joined the studio in 1924, making his film debut in 1925 under the name Hideo Mitsui (三井秀男). His short stature, soft features, and expressive face and voice suited him for rebellious “younger brother” roles, and he appeared as a youth lead in many silent and early sound films, notably in several Yasujirō Ozu classics and as a regular in the “Yota” film series.

Mitsui was a voice actor in Japan’s first sound cartoon, Chikara to Onna no Yo no Naka (1933; now lost), and appeared in Japan’s first color film, Carmen Comes Home (1951). A star of Ozu’s 1934 original silent version of A Story of Floating Weeds, he was stunt-cast in the director’s own widely acclaimed 1959 color remake, Floating Weeds, which Roger Ebert named as one of the ten greatest films of all time.
