Ken Takakura, whose death on Nov 10 was announced on Tuesday, was a Japanese movie star who was seen a hero in the screen when his movies made their way into the Chinese market in the late 1970s and early 1980s.Takakura died at a Tokyo hospital where he was being treated for an illness, according to his office.

He always speaks little dialogue but has too much action in the film. The first Takakura vehicle to hit Chinese theaters was Manhunt, made in 1976 and screened in China in 1978, in which he plays a police detective（侦探）against the officers who didn’t obey the rules. Chinese people loved him at once because they had never seen that character in the film before.

Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou invited him to star in the 2005 film Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, a film about the difficulty of communication between people with different languages, cultures, generations and backgrounds. It had got a great success in the world. According to Zhang, the role of a Japanese father who comes to China in search of a way to bond with his son was tailor-made for Takakura.

In the West, Takakura is known mostly through the 1970 war movie Too Late the Hero, the 1974 Sydney Pollack sleeper hit The Yakuza with Robert Mitchum, the 1989 Ridley Scott film Black Rain, which partnered him with Michael Douglas, and the 1992 comedy Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck.

Takakura took part in more than 200 screen roles all his life. He was awarded Japan's Academy（学院）Prize for best actor four times.
