Tamba, Tetsurō

Tetsurō Tamba (July 17, 1922 — September 25, 2006) was a Japanese actor.

He was perhaps best known by Western audiences for his role as Tiger Tanaka in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967). He did not speak English so he was dubbed by Robert Rietti.

By then, he had among other roles appeared in two films by director Masaki Kobayashi: Harakiri and Kwaidan. He also portrayed the lead character in the police dramas KeyHunter and G-Men ‘75, the latter of which remains his best-known role in Japan.
