Born on May 10, 1916 in present-day Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture. He went on to study in order to take over the shipping business of his family, but his love of movies grew so much that he entered Nihon University's College of Art in 1933. In 1939, when he was 23 years old, he joined the assistant director department of Shinko Kinema Tokyo Studio , relying on a distant relative of Shiro Toyoda as soon as he graduated. He transferred to Toho in 1943. As a middle-ranking director of the company, he worked in all genres, including literary works and comedies, but his main strengths were in thrillers and suspense. In 1962 , he won the Special Jury Prize at the São Paulo Film Festival for his work, A Woman in That Place, about a woman who works at an advertising agency. After 1967 's "Bakushou Yaro Dai Jiken", at the age of 51, he moved from movies to TV movies and mass-produced more than 100 dramas. He left works that still boast cult popularity, such as " Angel full of scars " (1974-1975).
