Tōru Nakane (中根徹? Nakane Tōru) is a Japanese actor who was born in Tokyo, Japan on November 6, 1957. He has appeared extensively in pink films and on television. The pink film critics Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser commented in 1998 that "he is generally considered one of the best actors in the pink business."
Nakane's earliest film credit in the Japanese Movie Database is the April 1982 Roman Porno film Female Teacher: In Front of the Students (女教師 生徒の眼の前で? Onna kyōshi: seito no me no maede), which was part of the Female Teacher series from Nikkatsu. In the next two years, Nakane starred in three gay-themed films for ENK, a studio which almost exclusively produced homosexual oriented works. The trilogy, consisting of Male Season a.k.a. Our Season (ぼくらの季節? Bokura No Kisetsu), Male Generation a.k.a. Our Generation (Bokura No Jidai) and Male Moment a.k.a. Our Moment (Bokura No Shunkan), all directed by Ryūichi Hiroki, were frank and sympathetic to their gay protagonists.
