Dear Will and Martin,

I don't know of any compiled list of graphic designers for the ATG  
posters (I wish that I did!), but have the feeling that a little  
sleuthing in period graphic design magazines, graphic design annuals  
and published poster collections would turn up a number of posters  
and the names of the artists responsible for them.

A few that I can fill in for you, thanks to the catalogue for the  
1960-nendai Guraffizumu exhibition organized by the Printing Museum  
in Tokyo in 2002:

Shinjuku dorobo nikki: Design by Yokoo Tadanori

Bara no soretsu: Design by Asakura Setsu

Hatsukoi jigoku-hen: Design by Uno Akira

Ninja bugeicho: Design and art direction by Higaki Kiroku (Noriroku:  
??), illustration by Shirato Sanpei

Shinju-ten no amajima: Design by Awazu Kiyoshi

Rengoku eroika: Design by Higaki Kiroku (Noriroku?)

Nikudan: Design by Kuri Yoji

Dansei josei: Design by Toho Art Bureau


My guess, in general, would be that for many of the films, the staff  
member listed as "art director/ bijutsu" would have been responsible  
for the poster design. But perhaps not always?

All the best,

Sarah
