Japan Today reports that veteran actor Kazuo Kitamura died of pneumonia in Tokyo on May 6. He was 80. He played Black Oni and Niwatori-ch?ja in the classic 1979 anime movie Taro the Dragon Boy. He is most well-known outside Japan for starring in Akira Kurosawa's Heaven and Hell in 1963. He also played the first Tokugawa shogun of Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu, in both the Musashi television series (2003) and Shinobi: Heart Under Blade (2005).
