Jūzō Itami
15 May, 1933 in Kyoto, Japan
Jūzō Itami (1933–1997) was a Japanese actor and, later, a popular modern screenwriter and film director. Many critics came to regard him as Japan's greatest director since Akira Kurosawa. His ten feature-length movies and one short film, all of which he wrote himself, are comic satires on elements of Japanese... culture. He died under suspicious circumstances in December 1997 and may have been murdered by the yakuza.
