Career

Born in Hakodate, Hokkaido, Takase moved to Tokyo in 1905 and began acting in shinpa theater.[1] He moved to film, with one of his first important roles being one of the main inmates in Teinosuke Kinugasa's avant-garde masterpiece A Page of Madness in 1926. When Kinugasa joined Shochiku, Takase followed him and appeared in many films starring Chōjirō Hayashi, as well as in Kinugasa's Jujiro (1928).[1] He moved to Nikkatsu in 1928, often appearing as villains, but it was his comic role in Mansaku Itami's The Peerless Patriot (1932) that helped start his career in comedy. Sadao Yamanaka used him in such a role in The Million Ryo Pot (1935). After moving to Toho in 1937, his comic persona involved appearing in strange clothes and spouting odd phrases, some of which became popular.[1]
