Tadao Nakamaru (中丸忠雄, Nakamaru Tadao, March 31, 1933 – April 23, 2009) was a Japanese actor from Adachi, Tokyo, and the husband of television interviewer Kaoru Nakamaru from 1966 until his death in 2009.
Career
Nakamaru dropped out of Tokyo National University to pursue a film acting career and joined Toho in 1955 as part of the New Face program. One of his earliest on-screen appearances was as an ill-fated policeman in Godzilla Raids Again (1955). He appeared frequently in films by Kihachi Okamoto starting with Desperado Outpost in 1959. One of his first prominent roles was as the (admittedly bland) title villain in Jun Fukuda’s The Secret of the Telegian (1960). He is best known to genre fans as the head of Interpol in Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975). He is probably better known to American audiences as the gang leader going after the egg salad recipe in What’s Up, Tiger Lily? (1966, from Senkichi Taniguchi’s spy comedy International Secret Police: Key of Keys).[1]
