Kichitaro Negishi (根岸吉太郎, Negishi Kichitarō) is a Japanese film director. Although his films are admired by critics in Japan for their intelligence, Negishi has received little international recognition for his work. He has not been credited with a distinctive style but he has been called a subtle director who often elicits strong performances from his actors.[1] He won the award for Best Director at the 3rd Yokohama Film Festival for Enrai and Crazy Fruit.[2]
