Biography

Born in Shiga Prefecture, he joined the Shōchiku studio in 1929.[2] He debuted as director in 1934, but continued working as an assistant director for such filmmakers as Yasujirō Ozu and Yasujirō Shimazu after that.[citation needed] It was the 1939 film Warm Current that established his status as a director.[1][2] During the Sino-Japanese war he directed a number of military dramas such as The Legend of Tank Commander Nishizumi (1940), for which he toured the actual battlefields in China.[3] His 1947 work The Ball at the Anjo House, starring Setsuko Hara, was named the best picture of the year by Kinema Junpo.[1] This film marked the start of a long relationship with the screenwriter and film director Kaneto Shindō. In 1950, the two of them started the independent production company Kindai Eiga Kyokai.[1][2]

Yoshimura is credited with furthering the careers of such actresses as Fujiko Yamamoto, Machiko Kyō and Ayako Wakao.[1] He directed over 60 films during his career,[4] and received a Medal of Honor (Purple Ribbon) from the Japanese government in 1976.[1]
