It was announced that the TV and film director Yamagiwa Eizo passed away on November 28 at the age of 92. Yamagiwa graduated from Keio and entered Shintoho, where he studied under Uchida Tomu and Ishii Teruo. He only directed one film, Kyonetsu no hate, before moving to TV, where he directed a number of famous series from Kometto-san to several of the Ultraman series. He also penned a lot of film criticism and co-authored a book with Makoto Naitoh <https://www.facebook.com/makoto.naitoh.9?__cft__[0]=AZXfB0GaxNVKEqAnvTFo8wgjNpqF4tzsoiKM8h5EHosRl2OrqZJ8MEC1CmO2hZNBP0UBGOmkBuaMxV9RQKwv1D-66NR6zkRZMgHzajFOIKE3dA&__tn__=-]K-R> about his career.
