Tanroh Ishida is a renowned London-based Japanese actor who has garnered international recognition for his exceptional talent in both classical Western theatre and traditional Japanese theatre.
Born and raised in Japan, Tanroh began his journey in Japanese Traditional Noh/Kyogen Theatre at the tender age of three, under the guidance of his father and his father's master. As a young prodigy, he performed extensively with his theatre company at various national and international venues, including the esteemed Carnegie Hall and Shakespeare's Globe.
,However Tanroh's curiosity about Western-style theatre led him to relocate to England at the age of 15, where he pursued his passion for drama by auditioning for prestigious schools. His hard work and dedication paid off, as he was accepted into the renowned Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Upon graduating from Guildhall, Tanroh embarked on a new venture by forming his own theatre company, "Tea Leaf Theatre," which serves as a platform for him to explore his unique experiences as an actor, having been classically trained in both Eastern and Western theatre traditions.
Tanroh's Tea Leaf Theatre has received widespread critical acclaim, including 5-star reviews at the Edinburgh Festival, for its innovative fusion of Japanese and Western theatre styles.
