Takada Minoru
- Name: Takada Minoru
- Native name: 高田稔
- Also Known as: 高田昇
- Nationality: Japanese
- Gender: Male
- Born: December 20, 1899
- Died: December 27, 1977
Takada dropped out of Tokyo College of Music in 1918 to join opera singer Hiroshi Ishii’s troupe, performing in the Asakusa opera. Starting in 1924 Takada began appearing in films for Empire Kinema, Nikkatsu, Shochiku, and Fuji Film, eventually transforming the latter into Takada Productions in 1934. At this time talking pictures became more commonplace and Takada began speaking in film for the first time.
Takada moved to Toho in 1937, appearing primarily in soap opera-style dramas up to the war, when his age and features made him more suited for military roles in war films. After the war, his output declined dramatically, although he remained a persistent presence in Toho films up through the early 70s.
Takada is best known as the commander of Earth’s forces in Battle in Outer Space (1959), and as the prime minister in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964). He also had an amusing cameo in The Adventure of Taklamakan (1966).
