Hiroshi Shinagawa

For years Hiroshi Shinagawa was cast as the comedian people enjoyed disliking, and he leaned into it rather than shrinking. Born in Shibuya in 1972, he came up as half of a comedy duo, then wrote novels and screenplays and directed his own films, credited under a different form of his name. Comedians behind the camera are usually treated as tourists. He kept going anyway.
