His Motorbike, Her Island (彼のオートバイ、彼女の島, Kare no ōtobai, kanojo no shima) is a 1986 Japanese romance film directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, based on a 1977 novel by Yoshio Kataoka. Produced by Kadokawa Haruki Jimusho, the film stars Kiwako Harada, Riki Takeuchi, Noriko Watanabe and Tomokazu Miura. Takeuchi, in his acting debut,[1][2] plays a motorbike enthusiast who falls in love with a young woman (Harada) after teaching her how to ride. The film frequently switches between black-and-white and color photography.[3]
His Motorbike, Her Island won three awards at the 8th Yokohama Film Festival, including Best Supporting Actress for Watanabe[4] and 3rd Best Film.[5]
