Note on the "TMDB BIO" provided in the prompt: The prompt includes a "TMDB BIO" text block at the top. I must check if this is part of the "provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES". The instructions say "Use ONLY facts present above." The TMDB BIO is part of the text "above".
TMDB BIO content: Tachi Hiroshi is a Japanese actor and singer-songwriter. Leader/founding member of rock group COOLS in 1975. Left group to join Toei film company. Film debut: The Classroom of Terror (1976). Moved to Yujiro Ishihara's production company in 1983. Popular for Seibu Keisatsu and Abunai Deka.

TMDB BIO says debut in 1976 (The Classroom of Terror).

However, the prompt says "Write a career overview...". I will include the 1972 debut from Source [4] and the 1976 debut from the TMDB BIO as they are both provided facts. Wait, if I'
