Onimasa, known in Japan as Kiryūin Hanako no Shōgai , is a 1982 Japanese yakuza film directed by Hideo Gosha. Based on Tomiko Miyao's 1980 novel Kiryūin Hanako no Shōgai. It was Japan's submission to the 55th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee.

Production

After seeing Tomiko Miyao's 1980 novel Kiryūin Hanako no Shōgai in a bookstore, actress Meiko Kaji wished to make a film adaptation. Imagining herself in the lead role of Matsue and Tomisaburo Wakayama as Onimasa, Kaji pitched the movie to Toei. After several months without hearing anything, Toei publicly announced that they would be adapting the novel.

Producer Goro Kusakabe described the events differently, stating that Kaji simply handed him the book and expressed interest in playing the lead in what was already a project under consideration for adaptation. He also explained that he decided against her playing Matsue because she was too mature for a role that followed a character from childhood to adulthood.

At the time, Hideo Gosha was struggling financially after suffering hardships in his personal and family life. A longtime fan of Miyao who wanted to adapt one of her works for some time, he got the job directing thanks to one of his friends suggesting Okada give him a comeback film. Shinobu Otake was offered the lead role of Matsue, but refused to work with Toei's Kyoto studio.

Filming was halted for a month while Natsume underwent thyroid surgery for Graves' disease.
