Minoru Kawasaki
Did any one watch [Japanorama](http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/japanorama/index.shtml) on BBC3 last night? Jonathan Ross doing his usual thing, but there was a great bit in there about Minoru Kawasaki, a Film Director, whose trilogy was inspired by his fathers Blowfish restaurant.
The first film was [Calamari Wrestler](
) where a pro-wrestler gets cancer and his anger at his own professional demise morphs him into a huge calamari which happens to be great at wrestling. Next up was [Executive Koala](
) about a salaryman at a pickle company in Tokyo, basically a guy with a bear head on in a suit, and things turn sour. Finally, my favourite, [Crab Goalkeeper](
) about a huge crab that hates working in a bar, but is very good at it due to his ability move sideways quickly, then one night a football manager comes in and spots his talent. Cue a sporting success story.
Brilliant. Apparently the trilogy is about social acceptance. Who cares about plot holes and rotoscoping when you have oversized sporting molluscs?
