Tatsumi Kumashiro

[Julien Seveon]

Thank you Roland and Jonathan for these infos (I hope the site will be back 
soon on line !)

>- I read on the All Movie Guide on the Net (www.allmovie.com) that in its
>younger age, Kumashiro was very rebellious toward japanese tradition
>(family, system...). Any info on this ?
Who of the young assistant directors was not at the time?

I meant to say : is there any information regarding his relationship with 
his parents, the army...

Cheers,

Julien Seveon
