Good question.  Does Shintaro Katsu count (he had at
least one film under his belt)?  I seem to recall he
had some trouble with the law, but don't remember if
he was arrrested or not.  Perhaps those involved in
the student movements during the late '60s or early
'70s?  Maybe Koji Wakamatsu?  Hmmmmmmmmm...

"As the movie industry becomes more like the merchandising industry, the book business becomes more like the movie industry.  There's more pressure.  I think it's very difficult to be a young writer today.  I fear that young writers, after one or two books, will disappear the way young film directors do."  --Don DeLillo
