Daisuke Tsukahara
Actor / Producer
Born in Tokyo in 1976.
In 2016, he founded the theatre collective 52PRO! in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. The company was incorporated the following year, establishing an independent and sustainable production framework. As founder, he has continuously taken on the roles of producer and performer, sustaining over a decade of creative work. This long-term commitment to creation forms the foundation of his work as an actor.
His productions range from works incorporating traditional performing arts from across Japan to plays exploring family, friendship, and memories embedded in specific times and places. His activities have expanded beyond Japan to international collaborations.
Since 2018, he has engaged in collaborative projects in Taiwan. In 2024, Takaga Jūnen no Matsuri was presented at the Beitou Arts Festival in Taiwan. In 2025, the Japan–Taiwan co-production Rūrōju – The Wanderer Tree was presented at the Kuandu Arts Festival hosted by Taipei National University of the Arts. In 2026, the Japan–Taiwan cast production Haikei – The Seven Letters is invited to the Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum.
Takaga Jūnen no Matsuri is scheduled for revival in August 2026 at the National Theater and Concert Hall in Taiwan.
In 2024, he appeared in the Taiwanese television drama 聽海湧 (Three Tears in Borneo). The series won four awards, including Best Drama, at the 60th Golden Bell Awards.
