Koji Wakamatsu

Kōji Wakamatsu (1936-2012) was a Japanese film director, producer and screenwriter, born in Wakuya, Miyagi. He began in the low-budget pink film genre in 1963 and used it for films that mixed sex, violence and radical politics, most of them produced independently. He is not a musician: the records listed under his name collect the music written for his films. Wakamatsu debuted with Sweet Trap (1963) and set up his own production company after Secrets Behind the Wall (1965) was shown in competition at the Berlin festival.
