Daisaku Shirakawa
- Director
- Writer
- Producer
Daisaku Shirakawa only co-directed two films, both for
Toei--Saiyûki (1960) ("Journey to the
West") and
Wan wan chûshingura (1963)
("Doggie March"). They were projects of
Osamu Tezuka, and it's possible
that Shirakawa only did "technical directing" tasks in these films.
Later Shirakawa directed several episodes of the TV series
Shonen ninja Kaze no Fujimaru (1964),
based in a manga by Sampei Shirato, and
some of them were exhibited as movies with a new editing shortly after.
His adaptation of the manga by
'Shotarô Ishimori',
Saibogu 009: Kaijû senso (1967)
("Cyborg 009: Underground Duel"), was his last film for Toei.
From 1968 he worked freelance, and was one of the directors of the TV series based in the Tetsuya Chiba manga "Fight!! Pyuta". Finally he joined the Managing Department of Hakuhodo and from 1993 devoted his time to painting postcard flowers, holding several exhibitions and writing an illustrated book about postcard flowers of the world. He is also Superintendent of the Painting Holiday Club.
