Yū Izumi

Yū Izumi is credited as appearing in the film Tokyo Drifter in 1966, where they portrayed Detective Sakai. The role in this Seijun Suzuki-directed yakuza film marks their only recorded appearance in the available filmography. The character of Detective Sakai functions within the narrative as a figure associated with law enforcement, contributing to the film’s stylized crime drama framework.

Little else is documented about Yū Izumi’s involvement in the film industry beyond this credit. The single known film appearance provides no additional details regarding their background, contributions, or other professional engagements. As such, their presence in Tokyo Drifter remains the only verifiable point of reference for their work in cinema.
