A cooled moving blade for a gas turbine which has a blade profile capable of more effectively reducing thermal stress in a blade base portion and, thus, preventing cracks from occurring. A moving blade (1) is fixedly secured to a platform (2). On the other hand, a cooling air passage (3) is formed in a serpentine pattern inside of the blade for cooling with cooling air. The moving blade (1) has a base portion of a profile formed by an elliptically curved surface (11) and a rectilinear surface portion (12), wherein the rectilinear surface portion (12) is provided at a hub portion of the blade where thermal stress is large. The cross-sectional area of the blade is increased by providing the rectilinear surface portion (12) The heat capacity is increased, compared with the conventional blade, due to the increased cross-sectional area of the blade. This, in turn, results in a decrease of the temperature difference due to the thermal stress. Thus, the thermal stress can be suppressed more effectively than with the conventional blade.
