Min Tanaka

Tanaka Min

  • Name: Tanaka Min
  • Native name: 田中泯
  • Also Known as: 타나카 민
  • Nationality: Japanese
  • Gender: Male
  • Born: March 10, 1945
  • Age: 79
Min Tanaka is a Japanese actor and dancer. He was trained in ballet and modern dance, but in 1974, turned his back on these forms. He began his solo career with a series of nearly-naked primarily outdoor improvisational dances that took place throughout Japan, often dancing up to five times a day. For a time in the 1980's, he was associated with Hijikata Tatsumi and butoh, a loose genre of Japanese dance, but now has broken from that framework as well, and no longer uses that term to describe his dances. He continues to experiment with new ways to use the body, including drawing inspiration from farming. Starting in 2002, he began to appear in movies and on television. He won the award for best supporting actor at the 26th Japan Academy Prize for The Twilight Samurai.
