I just wanted to wish the great director Shindo Kaneto a happy birthday. On today April 22, 2012, he reached the young age of 100.

Are there other Japanese directors who reached 100? Inuzuka Minoru, who was both a screenwriter and a director, died in 2007 of the age of 106 (I think he may have been the last surviving director of a commercial silent feature in the world when he passed away). Do people know of any others?
