Takaya Kamikawa (Japanese: 上川 隆也, Hepburn: Kamikawa Takaya, born May 7, 1965) is a Japanese stage, film, and television actor.[1][2]
Biography
Kamikawa was born in Hachioji, Tokyo in 1965. He graduated from Hachioji-Kita high school in Tokyo. While studying economics in Chuo University, he acted in a minor theatrical group which was touring around Japan and performing at local schools. Kamikawa left Chuo University without a diploma, and joined the group Caramel Box to become a full-time actor.[citation needed]
In 1995, Kamikawa starred in a TV drama by NHK, Daichi no Ko, and played the leading role, Lu Yixin. The original author, Toyoko Yamasaki, initially wanted Masahiro Motoki to play the role. However, since most of the drama was filmed in China and required a lot of travel, Motoki was not able to meet the tight filming schedule. Then one of the staff found Kamikawa, who was still unknown, in a magazine.[citation needed] Toyoko Yamasaki later commented that Kamikawa had been the right choice.[citation needed]
In 2006, he played Yamauchi Kazutoyo, the leading role of the NHK Taiga drama Kōmyō ga Tsuji.[3]
