Nishimura is a prolific special effects artist with over 100 film credits ranging from effects work to writing and directing.

Credits across the J-sploitation genre include “Tokyo Gore Police,” “Meatball Machine Kodoku” and the recent “Tokyo Dragon Chef.” The story focuses on Onimanji, portrayed by Mimoto Masanori (“Death Note,” “Kingdom”), a Samurai Ninja who’s been cursed and sealed in an urn for over 600 years, but is resurrected in the present day by the assassin-for-hire outfit, Kika Company.
