Kiyoshi Atsumi

Kiyoshi Atsumi (渥美 清) (1929-1996) was a Japanese film actor.

He was the star of the highly popular 'Tora-san' series of films, from 'Tora-san' in 1969 to the forty-eighth film released after his death in 1997.

All the Tora-san movies were written and directed by Yoji Yamada[?], and all had much the same plot - Tora-san arrives in some remote town, fixing to con the locals out of their money. He meets a local woman and falls in love. But finding himself on the brink of marriage he abandons her and his schemes to flee back to his home in Shibamata[?], Tokyo.
