Takeshi Kawamura (?? ?, Kawamura Takeshi, b.
1959) is a Japanese playwright and director. He gained recognition in the 1980s for his popular-culture-influenced, violent, highly physical plays.
Building upon this early work with later projects of social criticism and postmodern theatrical experimentation, Kawamura secured his position as an internationally recognized theatre artist.
As artistic director of theatre companies Daisan Erotica and T Factory, Kawamura uses his plays to comment directly and indirectly on Japanese social conditions and current events while prompting audiences to consider issues such as the shaping influences of media, the confusion of reality with fantasy, and the nature of human individuality.
