Creator Context

Summary

Japanese film and television producer who worked at NHK Enterprises before becoming an executive and producer at OLM and OLM Digital. She has produced a large body of Takashi Miike-associated live-action work, including Ichi the Killer, 13 Assassins, Lesson of the Evil, Shield of Straw, As the Gods Will, Terra Formars, First Love, and several commercial manga adaptations. Interviews portray her as a hands-on production manager focused on communication, logistics, safety, and solving problems across large crews. Her public record does not show a sustained political, DEI, representation-first, or activist persona; her career is centered on conventional commercial filmmaking across action, thriller, fantasy, and family entertainment.
