[edit] Life and career

Like many of his novels, Trembling is a romantic comedy, written in the first person and narrated by a strong female lead character. This best-selling work was the first that Nikkatsu used as a basis for one of their Roman Porno series of mainstream softcore pornographic films. The success of this 1975 film inspired the the studio to sign Uno to a contract for producing the Koichiro Uno series.[1] Over the next decade at least 23 films were made in the series.[2]

Koichiro Uno's Dancer of Izu (1984), starring actress Kate Asabuki, is generally considered to be the best of the series. Uno wrote the script to this entry directly for the screen as a parody of Yasunari Kawabata's famous story, The Dancing Girl of Izu. In Uno's version, Kawabata's titular classical dancer was instead a stripper.[3]

Koichiro Uno's Wet and Swinging (also 1984) was another critically-praised Uno film. Director Shusuke Kaneko was given the Yokohama Film Festival award for best new director for this film.[4]
