I just recently inthe last couple of minutes realized that Tatsuya Nakadai was the lead man in Ran.
Who is the better Japanese actor? Toshiro Mifune or Tatsuya Nakadai?

Tatsuya Nakadai is the better one in my opinion.
I love the way the man acts, he have such a deep way to show emotions.
My favorite actor of all time

What about Takashi Shimura ? I mean I don't think I'm the best to comment on Japanese Cinema, but some of the great performances I've seen came from both Takashi Shimura and Mifune. Shimura was fantastic in Ikiru.

Both absolutely great but Nakadai is the one for me. If look on certain aspects he seems got more chnces to show varies and deep on his roles in comparison, but mifune always has that raw star power and presence more

Nakadai all the way. Both are among the best actors ever, but Mifune often relied on his rabidness that was always wonderful, but at times carried him without much thought (the more impressive were his more tranquil performances, like the one in Redbeard). He often met the line of overdoing it, too, but I always liked his wrath. Nakadai, on the other hand, always seemed to have all his performances thought over to perfection. He was often a supporting actor, in a couple of films next to Mifune, sometimes overshadowing him (like in High and Low), but when he got a leading role, he was unstoppable. Human Condition, Harakiri (that look in his eyes!), The Sword of Doom (again overshadowing Mifune, who was a secondary character this time!) and many, many more! He also kissed Setsuko F*ckin' Hara in Daughters, Wives and a Mother and had a romance with Hideko Takamine in When a Woman Ascends the Stairs. Oh, and he even had a cameo in the 2014 Gun Woman (a movie with a naked and blood-smeared Asami). And he is still alive!

To think i just assumed he was dead. I need to quit assiming stuff.
I admit I have seen more Mifune performances compared to Nakadai, but I have seen what is generally considered the best and most notable work for both. I can't tell who is better, but Mifune is by far my favorite of the two.

Nakadai as a actor although mifune is top notch aswell but mifune is my favorite Japanese actor but you can't deny nakadai's talent from hara Kiri to kill to ran and many many more
