Shinnosuke Ikehata (池畑 慎之介, Ikehata Shinnosuke) (born August 8, 1952, in Sakai, Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese singer, dancer and actor known for his roles in the 1969 film Funeral Parade of Roses, directed by Toshio Matsumoto, and the 1985 film Ran, directed by Akira Kurosawa.[1] Ikehata uses the stage name Peter (ピーター, Pītā) when he appears on TV variety shows and musical revues. Always seen dancing in tight clothes at dancing clubs, he adopted the stage name at sixteen years old after his style of dress and dance which was said to resemble Peter Pan. One of Japan's most famous gay entertainers, Peter's androgynous appearance has enabled him to often play transgender characters and he often appears on stage in dresses.
