Kagawa Teruyuki
- Name: Kagawa Teruyuki
- Native name: 香川照之
- Also Known as: 九代目市川中車, Ichikawa Chusha IX, かがわてるゆき
- Nationality: Japanese
- Gender: Male
- Born: December 7, 1965
- Age: 58
In the Kabuki world, it is usual for the son of an actor to follow the father's footsteps since very early ages, but his parents divorced in 1968 and his mother was given the custody of him. After that event, he never saw his father again, and his mother refused to give him any training on the Kabuki art and he grew believing that it was "something that must not be watched". However he tried several times to meet his biological father. When he was 20, he went to one of his performances and asked if he could see him, stating that he was Ennosuke's son, but when his father's assistants reported to him the situation he refused, stating that he didn't have any son.
Kagawa Teruyuki graduated from University of Tokyo with a degree in social psychology in 1988 and started a career in cinema. His debut work was the role of Kobayakawa Hideaki in the 27th NHK Taiga drama "Kasuga no Tsubone" (1989). He received the nominations for a multiple of times and won the award for Best Supporting Actor at the 33rd Japan Academy Prize for "Mt. Tsurugidake".
His first son Masaaki, born in 2004, showed interest in becoming a Kabuki actor. As a result, Teruyuki tried again to meet with his aged father and succeeded. At the same time, he decided to start his own career in Kabuki, at an age which is extremely unusual for an actor. The only time it happened was in 1910, when Ichikawa Danjuro IX's adopted and then son-in-law Ichikawa Sansho V decided to start his career at age 28 after his adoptive father's death.
In 2011, it was announced that in June 2012 he and his son, at Shumei (the naming ceremony) of his father, Ichikawa Ennosuke III, and his cousin, Ichikawa Kamejiro II, they would have taken the names, respectively, of Ichikawa Chusha IX and Ichikawa Danko V.
In July 2019, he visited a club in Ginza where he allegedly sexually harassed a female employee. Since the incident, the victim has been suffering from PTSD. On August 25, 2022 his agency Lotus Roots, Inc. admitted to and apologized for the scandal. He has expressed his feelings of reflection and apology to the woman involved, and has asked her for her understanding and forgiveness so the lawsuit has been withdrawn. Edit Biography
