Keiji Sada

Keiji Sada (佐田啓二, Sada Keiji?) est un acteur japonais, né le 9 décembre 1926 à Shimogyō-ku et mort le 17 août 1964 à Nirasaki. Il est apparu dans près de cent cinquante films en dix-sept ans de carrière.

Keiji Sada naît en 1926 sous le nom de Kan'ichi Nakai (中井寛一, Nakai Kan'ichi?).

Il devient l'un des acteurs favoris de Keisuke Kinoshita, et de Yasujirō Ozu avec qui il a tourné quatre films, entre 1958 et 1962, et apparaît dans près de cent cinquante films entre 1947 et 1964[1], année de sa mort.

Sa fille, Kie Nakai, née en 1957, et son fils, Kiichi Nakai, né en 1962, sont également acteurs.

Le 17 août 1964, alors que Sada rentre en famille de sa résidence d'été du mont Tateshina dans la préfecture de Nagano, leur chauffeur entre en collision avec un taxi sur le pont de Nirasaki : Sada est tué sur le coup, tandis que sa femme et ses deux enfants s'en sortent indemnes.

Ses funérailles ont lieu au cimetière d'Aoyama à Tokyo au milieu d'une assistance de plusieurs milliers de personnes. Sa tombe se trouve dans le temple Engaku-ji de Kamakura.
