Hidetaka Yoshioka (吉岡 秀隆; born on August 12, 1970) is a Japanese actor known for his performance in several movies as a child and the TV drama Dr. Coto's Clinic. He played the part of Tora-san's nephew in the Otoko wa Tsurai yo film series, and he appeared in Akira Kurosawa's Rhapsody in August and Madadayo. He won two Japan Academy Awards Best Actor for Always: Sunset on Third Street and its sequel Always: Sunset on Third Street 2.[1]

Career

Yoshioka made his debut around the age of five in the television drama Ōedo Sōsamō (1970–1992).[2] He became one of the most popular child actors in Japan during the 1980s. He appeared in both film and television, including long-running series such as Otoko wa Tsurai yo (1969–1997) and Kita no Kuni kara (1981–2002). His growth is documented in these works.

In 1997, following the death of Kiyoshi Atsumi, the Otoko wa Tsurai yo series came to an end, and Kita no Kuni kara, another long-running series, also came to a close in 2002. However, Yoshioka quickly found a new career-defining role in the hit drama Dr. Coto's Clinic (2003–2006).

In 2006, he won the Japan Academy Prize for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in Always: Sunset on Third Street, directed by Takashi Yamazaki. Yamazaki has also cast him in entries of the Godzilla series.

Personal life

In 2002, Yoshioka married actress Yuki Uchida, but the couple divorced in 2005.[3]
