Hailing from Gunma prefecture in Japan, Osaki is a humble and friendly director, who has worked predominantly as an Assistant Director. Much like the lead character in his film, Takashi Kitano , Osaki was looking for his big break in the Japanese film industry. Having made his first film, The Catch Man, in 2006, it took nearly ten years for him to be able to release his latest film. This frustration at the film industry is used as inspiration for Obon Brothers, and the comedic way in which the film approaches this topic is part of its charm. Diverse Japan was lucky enough to catch Mr Osaki during his stay in London to discuss his film.
