[KineJapan] greatest cast in a film I never heard of until now!

[Shane Robinson]

Really interesting reading about that film, I found quite a few stills and
pamphlets on sites like Yahoo Auctions Japan. It was shown on the Japanese
Movie Channel in April 2017 (
https://x.com/nihoneiga/status/851698881108824064). I'm not familiar with
him, but a Twitter user by the name of Ken Shimomura seems to have
information that the prints were "junked" by Toho (
https://x.com/Shimo_x2/status/1622444741093883904). This seems to be their
area of expertise, so while I wouldn't take it as fact, it seems like
reliable information. Does anybody know this person?
