Oshii is known for writing and directing numerous animated films, original video anime (OVA), television anime series, and live-action films.
After the success of Ghost in the Shell, Oshii was involved in various projects such as Jin-Roh – The Wolf Brigade, Blood: The Last Vampire, and The Sky Crawlers.
The staff of the live-action Hanabata Mitai na Koi o Shita (Our Love Was Like a Bouquet) film announced on Monday that anime director Mamoru Oshii will play himself in the film.
Oshii’s role brings both of the film’s main characters together, as they both are into subculture works and regard Oshii as a “god.”
