, born 15 August 1958 is a Japanese film director, screenwriter and producer. He is known for his low budget, absurdist comedy films. Kawasaki began his career with some self-financed films, including ''Iko the Earth Patrol Girl'', and manga to live action adaptions, before working on ''Ultraman Tiga''. He had his first hit with ''Calamari Wrestler'', a film about a wrestler who becomes a large squid. He followed this up with ''Executive Koala'', featuring a koala office worker who may have murdered his wife, ''Kabuto-O Beetle'', another wrestling movie, this time with a giant stag beetle. In 2006, he released ''Everyone But Japan Sinks'' (a parody of ''Japan Sinks'') and ''Crab Goalkeeper'', a movie Kawasaki describes as being like ''Forrest Gump''. Kawasaki also directed 2008's ''The Monster X Strikes Back/Attack the G8 Summit'', a sequel to the 1967 kaiju film ''The X from Outer Space''. While the original is played straight the sequel is a parody. ==References== *(Nipponconnection.de 2006: Minoru Kawasaki ) *(Film Threat: Fantasia marches into its final week ) * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minoru Kawasaki (film director)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
