Tadashi Imai
A leader of the postwar independent film production movement. Imai was an erratically brilliant filmmaker whose controversial leftist views and "subversive" activities forced him outside Japan's studio system. He directed his first feature, "The Namazu Military Academy," in 1939 but shortly after was forced to give up politics under the wartime military regime and began making war-collaboration propaganda films.
