Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Shinji Higuchi (樋口 真嗣, Higuchi Shinji) is a Japanese film director, tokusatsu special effects director, and artist. He first received widespread recognition for his work as the director of special effects on Shusuke Kaneko's Heisei Gamera trilogy, receiving a Special Technology Award for Gamera the Guardian of the Universe at the 1995 Japan Academy Film Prize. He has since broken into dramatic directing, helming such projects as the 2005 submarine epic Lorelei: The Witch of the Pacific Ocean, the 2006 disaster film Sinking of Japan, and a pair of live action adaptations of Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan in 2015. Most prominently, Higuchi has (co-)directed two entries in longtime collaborator Hideaki Anno's Shin series of films: 2016's Shin Godzilla, for which he won the Japanese Academy Award for Director of the Year, and 2022's Shin Ultraman, for which he received a Director of the Year nomination. |
