Mishima: The Last Debate is a 2020 Japanese documentary film by Japanese director Keisuke Toyoshima.

Production and release

The documentary primarily draws on footage of the debate filmed by TBS Television at the time. The footage had long been believed lost, but was recently rediscovered and restored, forming the core of Keisuke Toyoshima's film.

Director Keisuke Toyoshima, though interested in the social issues explored in the film, initially felt he couldn't tackle the subject matter because he wasn't part of the student movement generation nor a devoted fan of Mishima's work. However, when producer Tetta Tone approached him, he decided to take on the project.

The film was distributed theatrically in Japan by Gaga on March 20, 2020. A Blu-ray/DVD edition was released on February 26, 2021.
