TOHJIRO
TOHJIRO, 1956–2026, was a Japanese director.
Era: 2000s
DIRECTOR · PRODUCER
Japanese AV director and producer (1956-2026), born in Tokyo. Nawapedia records that he founded Dogma under SOD in 2001, made it independent in 2002, and founded the Dogma CORE label with Naka Akira in 2006. Important here as a production-context connection rather than a bakushi lineage entry: TOHJIRO was a Kinbiken member, produced works by Nureki Chimuo, and collaborated with kinbakushi including Naka Akira and Ren Yagami. Studio Yukari's Naka bio says Naka met TOHJIRO while working at Cinemagic, and that TOHJIRO later created Dogma and immediately employed Naka. ORICON, Kinbaku Today and Kinbaku Society of Berlin public obituary sources reported his death in July 2026.
