Biography

Daisaku Shirakawa only co-directed two films, both for Toei--Alakazam the Great (1960) ("Journey to the West") and Doggie March (1963) ("Doggie March"). They were projects of Osamu Tezuka, and it's possible that Shirakawa only did "technical directing" tasks in these films. Later Shirakawa directed several episodes of the TV series Fujimaru of the Wind (1964), based in a manga by Sampei Shirato, and some of them were exhibited as movies with a new editing shortly after. His adaptation of the manga by 'Shotarô Ishimori', Cyborg 009: Monster Wars (1967) ("Cyborg 009: Underground Duel"), was his last film for Toei.

From 1968 he worked freelance, and was one of the directors of the TV series based in the Tetsuya Chiba manga "Fight!! Pyuta". Finally he joined the Managing Department of Hakuhodo and from 1993 devoted his time to painting postcard flowers, holding several exhibitions and writing an illustrated book about postcard flowers of the world. He is also Superintendent of the Painting Holiday Club.
