Jinpachi Nezu (根津 甚八, Nezu Jinpachi; 1 December 1947 – 29 December 2016) was a Japanese actor.[3] He appeared in more than 50 films and television shows between 1974 and 2010. He starred in the 1982 film Farewell to the Land, which was entered into the 32nd Berlin International Film Festival.[4]
He died on 29 December 2016 in Tokyo of pneumonia. He had retired from acting after getting into a car accident and experiencing subsequent health problems, though he came out of retirement to reprise the character of Hizu in Gonin Saga at director Takashi Ishii's request. The film would be his last.[5][6]
