Kajiwara Kinpachi

Japanese: 梶原金八 - かじわらきんぱち
Kajiwara Kinpachi

… Mimura Shintaro, a screenwriter who often worked with Inagaki Hiroshi and Yamanaka Sadao, was known for his portrayal of a free-spirited traveling yakuza with a petty bourgeois sensibility. At the time, eight people who lived in Narutaki, Kyoto - Mimura Shintaro, Inagaki Hiroshi, Yamanaka Sadao, Yahiro Fuji, Takizawa Eisuke, Fujii Shigeji, Doi Masamoto, and Hagiwara Ryo - called themselves the Narutaki Group and wrote many new period drama scripts under the joint pen name Kajiwara Kinpachi. Many of their works, especially those of Itami Mansaku and Yamanaka Sadao, broke the image of period dramas as swordplay films, and were called "modern dramas with topknots" that depicted human beings with modern intelligence and sensibilities, and were extremely high in terms of cinematic expression. …

From Narutaki Group

...The name of a group of film directors and scriptwriters who lived in Narutaki, Kyoto around 1934-37. The eight of them, Sadao Yamanaka, Hiroshi Inagaki, Eisuke Takizawa, Ryohei Arai, Masamoto Doi, Shintaro Mimura, Fuji Yahiro, and Shigeji Fujii, used the pen name Kajiwara Kinpachi to collaborate on screenplays and productions with the aim of creating new, free films. In that sense, they were similar to the postwar French Nouvelle Vague, especially the group of critics from the film research journal Cahiers du Cinema.

… 稲垣浩や山中貞雄と多く組んだ脚本家は三村伸太郎で,小市民的感覚によって自由人としての股旅やくざ像を造型した点に特色がある。当時,京都の鳴滝に住んでいた三村伸太郎,稲垣浩,山中貞雄,八尋不二,滝沢英輔,藤井滋司,土肥正幹,萩原遼の8人は,鳴滝組と称し,梶原金八という共同ペンネームのもと,数々の新しい時代劇の脚本を書いた。彼らの作品の多く,とりわけ伊丹万作,山中貞雄の作品は,時代劇すなわち剣戟映画というイメージを打破するものであり,現代的な知性と感覚で人間を描いて〈髷をつけた現代劇〉といわれるとともに,映画的表現においてきわめて高いものであった。…
