1 screenplay for Kurosawa (uncredited), 1946 Keiji Matsuzaki (1905-1974) was one of Kurosawa’s early producers. He produced the director’s debut film Sanshiro Sugata (1943), as well as co-producing the collaborative Those Who Make Tomorrow (1946), which Kurosawa begrudgingly worked on for Toho. Matsuzaki similarly handled production for Kurosawa’s ...
4 screenplays for Kurosawa, 1946-1963 Playwright-turned-screenwriter Eijirō Hisaita (1898-1976) was Kurosawa’s first official screenwriting partner. The two created No Regrets for Our Youth together with Keiji Matsuzaki as described above, and later Hisaita also penned The Idiot (1951) with Kurosawa, as well as being part of a larger screenwriting ...
2 screenplays for Kurosawa, 1947-1948 Of the hundreds of people that Kurosawa worked with during his career, playwright and novelist Keinosuke Uekusa(1910-1993) was his very first professional acquaintance. Not that he probably realised it when they first got together. The two met at around the age of six. With only 18 days separating the two men’s...
1 screenplay for Kurosawa, 1949 Film director and screenwriter Senkichi Taniguchi (1912-2007) was another good friend of Kurosawa’s. The two met in their assistant director days in the mid-1930s, and during a six-year time period between 1947 and 1953 no fewer than eight films were released where the two shared credits. Five of those were directed ...
9 screenplays for Kurosawa, 1949-1969 Ryūzō Kikushima (1914-1989) is something of an enigma. In the late 1940s Kikushima was a young writer who had never written a screenplay before, yet somehow his path crossed with Kurosawa’s, who recognised something in him. The director decided to bring the writer in for a film that he was developing based on a...
8 screenplays for Kurosawa, 1950-1970 Of the ten screenwriters that Kurosawa worked with, Shinobu Hashimoto (born 1918) is the only one still alive. The now 97-year-old screenwriter’s book Compound Cinematics: Akira Kurosawa and Iwas published in English about a month ago, and it is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in Kurosawa’s wor...
12 screenplays for Kurosawa, 1952-1985 Hideo Oguni (1904-1996) was the screenwriter that Kurosawa most often worked with, and also one that was there throughout almost all of his career. A cursory look at Kurosawa’s film credits would suggest that the first time that Kurosawa and Oguni got together was on Ikiru(1952), but in fact their collaboratio...
3 screenplays for Kurosawa, 1965-1985 Screenwriter Masato Ide (1922-1989) was first brought in for Red Beard (1965), and he can be called the final addition to Kurosawa’s regular screenwriting team. When he joined Kurosawa, Kikushima and Oguni, Ide already had almost 15 years of experience as a screenwriter, during which period he had written close...
1 screenplay for Kurosawa, 1975 Yuri Nagibin (1920-1994) was a Russian screenwriter, novelist and journalist who worked with Kurosawa on the screenplay for the director’s Soviet financed 1975 film Dersu Uzala. In her memoir, Teruyo Nogami describes how this wasn’t an entirely straightforward process: Nagibin originally insisted on a more dramatic a...
