About Nogami Tatsuo

Nogami Tatsuo was a Japanese screenwriter, having graduated from Tokyo University with a focus on French literature. For two years in a row he took Shochiku’s assistant director exam, and although his written portion was exemplary, the interview segment was failed by Nakamura Noboru, who plainly told him not to come back. This lead him to become a scenario writer from Daiei’s  training school, but he did not debut as a screenwriter until years later.
