Recently, he played the lead character Kanakuri Shiso, Japan's first ever Olympics athlete, in NHK Taiga drama "Idaten" which was made in celebration of the 55th anniversary of 1964 Summer Olympics and upcoming 2020 Summer Olympics.
Nakamura Kankuro is married to the actress Maeda Ai since October 28, 2009. The couple has two sons. He is known to be a fan of the idol group Keyakizaka46 and sometimes puts Keyakizaka46 stories in his Kabuki plays. Edit Biography
