is a Japanese playwright, screenwriter, actor and film director and was previously married to Japanese actress Satomi Kobayashi. He was named after ''Taihō Kōki'', the youngest sumo wrestler to became yokozuna. He studied dramatics at Nihon University. In an attempt to add his own character to his movies, as a director he takes most of his scenes with a one-scene=one-shot system, moving the camera around as opposed to cutting. He claims this comes from his experience in theatre, where there are of course, no cuts. Mitani does not use a computer.〔Tanaka, Nobuko, "(Japan's Mr. Comedy )", ''Japan Times'', June 2, 2012, p. 7〕 ==Early life== Mitani liked watching TV dramas and puppetries of NHK in his childhood. Especially he was interested in the puppetries "Shin Hakkenden"() and "Sangokushi"(), jidaigekis as "Tenka Gomen" () and "Tenka Dōdō" () and Taiga Dramas "Ōgon no hibi"(). He also liked and still likes the works featuring famous detectives includes the Series of Sherlock Holmes〔『ユリイカ』、青土社、2014年8月増刊、148–154頁 ''Eureka'' August 2014 Extra Edition", Tokyo: Seidosha, 2014, pp.148–154.〕 and adored Holmes as detective.〔岡崎信治郎・藤田健一編『シャーロックホームズ冒険ファンブック』、小学館、2014年、21頁。 Shinjirō Okazaki and Kenichi Fujita (ed.) ''Sharokku Hōmuzu bōken fan bukku''(Guidebook of "Sherlock Holmes"), Tokyo, Shogakukan, 2014, p.21.〕 He has whole volume of novels including pastiches, DVDs related to Sherlock Holmes and read all the novels again before adapting it to a puppetry whose setting is laid in a boarding school. And in his high school days, he planned to produce a film featuring a detective, loosely based on "And Then There Were None" and went on location to Enoshima, Kanagawa with his friends though it's unfinished.〔 Besides he watched many foreign films such as the ones directed by Billy Wilder, "12 Angry Men" and "The Wages of Fear" on TV. He says that he was influenced by them but recent Hollywood comedy films are not as funny as those in the golden age and Japanese comedy becomes better.〔 He is a big fan of "Columbo" also. 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「Kōki Mitani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
