Biography: Kunimatsu Ogawa was a Japanese child actor from the silent era. Born in Tokyo, his father ran a silk shop. Among other roles, he appeared in Sword of Penitence (1927), the debut film of Yasujiro Ozu. He also co-starred in Kinuyo Tanaka's debut film, A Woman from the Genroku Era. Asked about it years later, he described her as his first crush. Few records of his life exist after the 1920s, although he returned to movies in the cast of Heinosuke Gosho's Twice on a Certain Night (1956). On a special segment of a New Year's Eve variety show, 1966, Ogawa and Tanaka were reunited for the first time in almost forty years.
