Shinya Tsukamoto
Ishii's most influential film was "Burst City" (1982). Since its release, it has had a strong effect on the underground Japanese film scene. It starred Shigeru Izumiya, who would, four years later, go on to direct his own cyberpunk film, "Death Powder", in 1986. The early short films of Shinya Tsukamoto, such as "The Adventures Of Electric Rod Boy" (1987) and "The Phantom of Regular Size" (1986) (which "Tetsuo" was a remake of), are often credited as precursors of the movement.
