Teru Shimada

Teru Shimada in You Only Live Twice 1967 Teru Shimada (島田輝 ''Shimada Teru'', born Akira Shimada (島田明 ''Shimada Akira''); November 17, 1905 – June 19, 1988) was a Japanese-born American actor.

A ''Nikkeijin'' (first-generation Japanese-American), Shimada emigrated to the United States in the early 1930s to follow in the footsteps of his idol Sessue Hayakawa, where he began acting in theatre before finding a steady career playing supporting roles in Hollywood films. After being interned during World War II, Shimada found a career resurgence starring opposite Humphrey Bogart in the 1949 film, ''Tokyo Joe.''

Shimada subsequently appeared in many films and television series throughout the 1950s and 60s. He also appeared in an episode ("And Five of Us are Left") of the 1960s American television series ''Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'' in 1965. That year, he also made a guest appearance on ''Perry Mason'' as Dr. Maseo Tachikawa in "The Case of the Baffling Bug" and as Ito Kumagi in the 1962 episode "The Case of the Capricious Corpse". In 1970, he had had a leading role in an episode of ''Hawaii Five-O'' ("The Reunion"). Arguably his most well-known role came in 1967, when he was cast as Mr. Osato, a SPECTRE agent in the 1967 James Bond film, ''You Only Live Twice''.

He later retired in the mid-1970s following appearances in ''Barnaby Jones'' and ''The Six Million Dollar Man'' and died in Encino, Los Angeles, California in 1988. Provided by Wikipedia
