Minoru Kawasaki (???), born 15 August 1958 is a Japanese film director, screenwriter and producer.
He is known for his low budget, absurdist comedy films. Kawasaki began his career with some self-financed films, including Iko the Earth Patrol Girl, and manga to live action adaptions, before working on Ultraman Tiga.
He had his first hit with Calamari Wrestler, a film about a wrestler who becomes a large squid.
He followed this up with Executive Koala, featuring a koala office worker who may have murdered his wife, Kabuto-O Beetle, another wrestling movie, this time with a giant stag beetle.
In 2006, he released Everyone But Japan Sinks (a parody of Japan Sinks) and Crab Goalkeeper, a movie Kawasaki describes as being like Forrest Gump. Kawasaki also directed 2008's The Monster X Strikes Back/Attack the G8 Summit, a sequel to the 1967 kaiju film The X from Outer Space.
While the original is played straight the sequel is a parody.
