Married Japanese actress/model and pop singer Kimika Yoshino in Tokyo in 2002 and relocated there in 2003. Has been active as a director in the current wave of low budget horror film sequels, many of which have not yet been distributed outside Japan. Frequently confused with other filmmakers, he is currently writing a book to set the record straight on his past, the projects he did and did not work on, his experiences with productions in the United States, and his long association with Japanese avant-grade cinema.
