Film director. Born in Hiroshima Prefecture. Dropped out of Daisan High School. Joined Nikkatsu Taishogun Studio in 1924 (Taisho 13), and became a director with "Pumpkin Soudoku" (1926). In his early days, he made action films, bright and fantastic comedies such as "Soap Girls" (1927), and melodramas such as "Sun and Moon in the Heart" (1931). After the advent of talkies, he developed a style of sincere realism, and was seen as a leader in the Japanese film industry during the war with his works "The Truthful Path" (1937), "Five Scout Soldiers" (1938), "Roadside Stones" (1938), "Earth and Soldiers" (1939), and "Navy" (1943). He was exposed to radiation in Hiroshima and fought the disease, but returned with "Doburoku no Tatsu" (1949). At the new Nikkatsu company, she showed vitality in "The Maid" (1955), and brought a breath of fresh air to Yujiro Ishihara's films, such as "Baby Carriage" (1956), "The Sunny Slope" (1958), and "The Flow of the Young River" (1959). In 1959 (Showa 34), she moved to Toei and made literary films such as "Gobancho Yugirirou" (1963) and "Hiyameshi to Osan-chan" (1965), but her final work was "Scrap Group" (1968), and she died on October 17, 1974.
