Carrer

Born in Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Toshio graduated at the Waseda University and joined P.C.L (predecessor of Toho) in 1937. He teamed up with other film makers such as Kajirō Yamamoto, Shirō Toyoda, Yasujiro Shimazu, Mikio Naruse, Akira Kurosawa and other directors and were known as "The "Director of Tokyo" in 1950. During the 1950s, Toshio worked on romantic films such as I Can't Say That Person's Name, Oblivion Petals, musical genres like So Young, So Bright, Ogichan Series, Wakadaishō series, action movies Smuggling Ship, humor work office Company President (Shachō), and Crazy Cats comedy series where he filmed exotic location like Hong Kong or Beijing.

Toshio became a successful director during his filming career at the studio and make plans for future movies with other scriptwriters before planning now. He worked for only 20 years of his job. Although he was the flagship of so-called comedy films and youth movies, Toshio himself said he wanted a director of suspense films, such as 36 Passengers and Black Art Book Distress. The suspense film, which is one of the few directed films, is still highly regarded. Since the beginning of the late 1960s, the number of theatrical film directors has declined in response to the tilt of the Japanese film industry, and he moved to the Toho Television Club to direct a TV drama.

Toshio left Toho in 1983 and return to Shizuoka where he wrote novels about films and location set up. He passed away a the age of 83 from lung cancer.
