AW: Toshiya Fujita titles

[Roland Domenig]

Jasper, Fujita Toshiya's nickname was "Paki". He got the name in 1955 during the shooting of Nishikawa Katsumi's "Haru no yoru no dekigoto". Fujita had just entered Nikkatsu and was assigned third assistant director to Nishikawa, who likened Fujita with the Prince of Pakistan because of his fairly dark complexion, small moustache and dark sunglasses. First assistant director Masuda Toshio thereafter started calling him Paki-san, which became his nickname. 

Alex, regarding Fujita's second Shura yukihime film: the Kojien lists  "renka" and "koiuta" as correct readings, but not "renga", so I guess it should be "Urami renka". But with Japanese titles one never knows...
