Ryūichi Hiroki (廣木 隆一 Hiroki Ryūichi?) is a Japanese artist, film director, and film editor. Ryūichi Hiroki is now one of the most prolific film directors in Japan. He is a pioneer in using digital video to shoot theatrical films in Japan. When he wanted to learn about making films as a student, he found a training opportunity in the pink film industry, a genre of erotic films produced exclusively for theatrical release since the early 1960s. He first produced the erotic film Seigyaku-Onna wo Abaku (Catch the Woman Out) in 1982. Hiroki left this genre when he received a scholarship at the Sundance Company in Tokyo. During his stay at Sundance, he wrote the script which he later developed into his 2000 film Tokyo Trash Baby. He is described by one film critic as one of Japan’s most fascinating film makers. —Wikipedia
