Koreyoshi Kurahara

Nihongo|Koreyoshi Kurahara|蔵原惟繕|Kurahara Koreyoshi (born May 31, 1927; died December 28, 2002) was a Japanese screenwriter and director. He is perhaps best known for directing Nankyoku Monogatari, which won awards. He also was co-director, with Roger Spottiswoode, of Hiroshima (film). Hiroshima was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries.

He was the nephew of literary critic Korehito Kurahara, and older brother of film director Koretsugu Kurahara. His son Jun Iwasaki, a former producer for [http://www.ishihara-pro.co.jp/ Ishihara International Productions Inc.] , is currently secretary to politician Nobuteru Ishihara.

He was born in the city of Kuching, then part of the kingdom of Sarawak (now a state of Malaysia) on Borneo.

While a film student at Nihon University College of Art, he became a live-in student of Kajiro Yamamoto at the introduction of Ishiro Honda. Upon graduation in 1952 he joined Shochiku's Kyoto studio and worked as an assistant director. He switched to Nikkatsu in 1954, working mainly as chief assistant director to Eisuke Takizawa.

He made his directorial debut in 1957 with "Ore wa Matteru Ze" starring Yujiro Ishihara, and gained recognition for his bold camera work and angles. He subsequently directed numerous films starring Ishihara and Ruriko Asaoka.

After going freelance in 1967, he helmed a succession of blockbusters and popular works including "Eiko e no 5,000 Kiro", "Kitakitsune Monogatari", "The Gate of Youth" and "Umi e, See You". His 1983 film "Nankyoku Monogatari" was a 5.9 billion yen hit and held the Japanese box office record for a domestic film until it was surpassed by Miyazaki Hayao's "Princess Mononoke" in 1997.
