Hi,

I was wondering what were Atsushi Yamatoya?s contributions for the Nikkatsu
studio before he left for Wakamatsu Pro? None are listed in JMDB.

Yamatoya is often presented as a close Seijun Suzuki collaborator (co-script +
appearance in Branded to kill), but his JMDB filmography doesn?t even mention
that effort.  Has Yamatoya been involved in previous Suzuki?s movies scripts?
As Yamatoya scripted some Suzuki?s post Nikkatsu movies, it seems that their
relation was indeed ?close? 
 maybe Yamatoya?s ironic themes have influenced 
pre-Branded to kill Suzuki?s movies?
