Takashi ISHII
Takashi ISHII, born in Sendai in 1946, first began his career as a manga artist. In 1988, ISHII made his debut film ANGEL GUTS: RED DIZZINESS, based on his manga series of the same name. Numerous pink films followed until his 1995 gangster film GONIN, starring Takeshi KITANO, finally brought him to international prominence. Still, only a few works from his oeuvre of over 30 films are known outside Japan.
