Born in 1937, he established his own production company, Mukai Production (later renamed Shishi Production), in 1965. Since his feature debut Flesh, he has directed more than 100 sexploitation films – so-called pink movies – and became one of the most important directors of the heyday of pink movies in the 60s and 70s. As a producer, he raised several generations of young directors, among them Takita Yojiro, Sato Hisayasu, Zeze Takahisa and Imaoka Shinji. Since the late 1990s, beginning with Going West, he directed a number of independent films about elderly people. He died in June 2008.
