**Yoshio Harada** (原田 芳雄, *Harada Yoshio*; 29 February 1940 – 19 July 2011) was a Japanese actor and singer,[2] known for his portrayals of rugged and complex [antiheroes](/source/Antihero).[3] He received a variety of accolades, including a [Japan Academy Film Prize](/source/Japan_Academy_Film_Prize), two [Blue Ribbon Awards](/source/Blue_Ribbon_Awards), two [Hochi Film Awards](/source/Hochi_Film_Awards), and five [Kinema Junpo Awards](/source/Kinema_Junpo_Awards).

Harada also was a [blues musician](/source/Blues), releasing a number of records throughout his career.

## Life and career

Born in Tokyo, Harada joined the [Haiyuza Theatre Company](/source/Haiyuza_Theatre_Company) in 1966 and made his television debut in 1967 with "Tenka no seinen"[4] and his film debut in 1968 with *Fukushū no uta ga kikoeru*.[5] He came to fame appearing in New Action films at [Nikkatsu](/source/Nikkatsu) playing youthful rebels.[3] Among his features for Nikkatsu was the 1971 exploitation film, *Stray Cat Rock: Crazy Riders '71* (aka *Alleycat Rock: Crazy Riders '71*) for director [Toshiya Fujita](/source/Toshiya_Fujita_(director)) where he played the son of a [yakuza](/source/Yakuza) boss.[6]

Leaving the Haiyūza in 1971,[4] he appeared in films made by many directors, including [Seijun Suzuki](/source/Seijun_Suzuki), [Shūji Terayama](/source/Sh%C5%ABji_Terayama), [Azuma Morisaki](/source/Azuma_Morisaki), [Kihachi Okamoto](/source/Kihachi_Okamoto), [Rokurō Mochizuki](/source/Rokur%C5%8D_Mochizuki), [Jun Ichikawa](/source/Jun_Ichikawa), [Hirokazu Koreeda](/source/Hirokazu_Koreeda) and [Kōji Wakamatsu](/source/K%C5%8Dji_Wakamatsu), but he was particularly favored by [Kazuo Kuroki](/source/Kazuo_Kuroki) and [Junji Sakamoto](/source/Junji_Sakamoto). He starred in many independent films, including those of the [Art Theatre Guild](/source/Art_Theatre_Guild).[3] According to the critic Mark Schilling, Harada was "a favorite of generations of Japanese helmers for his rugged features, low, rumbling voice and distinctive presence, with shades of darkness and wildness that made him a natural for antihero roles in his youth."[3] Harada also appeared in many television dramas.[4]
