Komako Kuragata (倉形 駒子, Kuragata Komako,[1] 26 February 1910 – 28 December 1968), known professionally as Komako Hara (原 駒子, Hara Komako), was a Japanese film actress who was particularly prominent in the silent era.
Born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Hara made her motion picture debut in 1924 in the film Rakujitsu no yume.[1] At studios such as Tōa Kinema and Makino Talkie, she achieved fame specializing in starring roles playing vamps, dokufu (poison women), and yakuza molls in jidaigeki.[1] In the sound era, she shifted to secondary roles in films by directors such as Kenji Mizoguchi, Masahiro Makino, and Keigo Kimura. She appeared in over 200 films in her career.
