Mikio Naruse - contact info

[Michael Kerpan]

Two of his films (Lightning and Older Brother, Younger sister) were made by Daiei -- so I assume Kadokawa owns them now.

There are also some Shintoho ones (Mother, for sure).  I think the splitting up of the Shintoho was rather complicated.  Not sure who owns this one (I would have thought toho would have gotten it, but I have no proof).
