February 20, 1894 (130 years old) in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture, Japan
Bokuzen Hidari (ๅทฆ ๅๅ จ Hidari Bokuzen, 20 February 1894 - 26 May 1971) was a Japanese actor and comedian born in Kotesashi Village (now part of Tokorozawa), Iruma District, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. He appeared in such films as Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, The Lower Depths and Ikiru.
