Boya Saburo was a Japanese comedian and actor from Yubari, Hokkaido. After going through private Hokkai Junior High School, he went on to the Faculty of Religion at Nihon University, but transferred to the night art department to study vocal music.

His name at birth was Ishikawa Hiroshi, but he was adopted to a temple a few months after birth and renamed Shibata Toshihide.

He joined Yoshimoto Kogyo and in 1937 formed Akireta Boys with Kawada Yoshio and Masuda Kiiton. In 1939, he was pulled out by the Shinko Kinema Performing Arts Club and transferred, and in the same year he made his silver screen debut with Toho's "Roppa no Okubo Hikozaemon".

The group Akireta Boys was reunited after the war, but it was disbanded in 1951, and since then he has been active in stage plays and movies.

He collapsed at a bus stop near his home on May 24, 2002, and was taken to a hospital in Tokyo by ambulance, but died of heart failure on the 25th. He died at the age of 92. Edit Biography
