Tokihiko Okada

Tokihiko Okada (岡田 時彦) (February 18, 1903 January 16, 1934) was a silent film star in Japan during the 1920s and early 1930s. A native of Tokyo,[1] he first started at the Taikatsu studio and later he was a leading player for Japanese directors such as Yasujirō Ozu and Kenji Mizoguchi. Film critic Tadao Sato recounts that Okada was among the handsomes and favorite Japanese actors of the era.[2] Throughout his career, Okada played the role of the quintessential nimaime (translated as "second line") which were romantic, sensitive men as opposed to the rugged and hard-boiled leading men known as tateyaku.[3] He was the father of film actress Mariko Okada. Tokihiko Okada died of tuberculosis at age 30.
