Kazuo Mori (森一ç"Ÿ, Mori Kazuo, January 15, 1911, Matsuyama â€"

June 29, 1989) was a Japanese film director who primarily worked in

popular genres like the jidaigeki.Born in Ehime Prefecture, Mori

graduated from Kyoto University before joining Nikkatsu's Uzumasa

studio in 1933. A favorite of the producer Masaichi Nagata, he

followed him to Daiichi Eiga and ShinkÅ Kinema before getting a

chance to direct in 1936 with Adauchi hizakurige. When ShinkÅ Kinema

was merged with other studios to form Daiei Film, Mori became one of

Daiei's core directors of genre films, making primarily samurai films

with stars such as RaizÅ Ichikawa, Kazuo Hasegawa, and Shintaro

Katsu. While not an auteur, he was a solid craftsman in the genre.

After Daiei went bankrupt in the early 1970s, Mori continued directing

jidaigeki on television. He directed over 130 films in his career. The

National Film Center in Tokyo did a retrospective of his works in 2011

in celebration of his centenary.
