Film director. His real name was Tsunejiro. He was born on April 26, 1898 in Okayama City. After dropping out of Okayama Middle School, he worked in Yokohama. In 1920 (Taisho 9), while visiting the Taisho Katsuei film studios that had been established there, he appeared in "Amateur Club" and entered the film industry. In 1926, he joined Nikkatsu as an actor, and made the transition to directing with "Three Days of the Race" (1927). In 1929 (Showa 4), he released "Living Doll," which was praised as a pioneer of trend films for its satirical depiction of the sorrows of ordinary people at the mercy of the social system. "The Revenge Player" (1931) also had the same theme. In the late 1930s, he made heavy, realist talkie works such as "Theater of Life" (1936), "The Naked Town," "Endless Advance" (1937), and "Earth" (1939). He went to China in 1945 (Showa 20) and remained there until 1954. He returned with "Bloody Spear Fuji" (1955) and established a world in Japanese cinema by focusing on the violent energy of Japanese men in relation to social class in films such as the "Daibosatsu Toge" trilogy (1957-1959), the "Miyamoto Musashi" pentalogy (1961-1965), and "Hunger Straits" (1964). He passed away on August 7, 1970. His books include "Fifty Years of the Film Director" (1968).
