Kurosawa Toshio is a Japanese actor and singer from Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Best known for his role as Ashio Ryurei in "Lady Snowblood" (1973), he was a prominent actor in Japanese cinema during the late 1960s through the mid-1970s.

First starting his career at Toho in 1965, on Kihachi Okamoto's "Samurai Assassin", Kurosawa (no relation to famed director Akira Kurosawa) embarked on an acting career in numerous Toho films. He worked exclusively for the studio or for smaller studios whose output was then handled by Toho for distribution, like Tokyo Eiga, up until the mid-1970s, when the crash of the Japanese film industry was reaching its full swing. Following a lead role in the 1976 film "The Perfect Score Comedy", Kurosawa was never attached to another Toho project again; however, he is still active as an actor and has been doing movies as late as 2000.
