Masahiro Makino
Tsugawa recently debuted as a director under the pseudonym Makino Masahiko with his film "Nezu no Ban". He chose this name because he is the nephew of the Japanese director Masahiro Makino, his mother's brother. Legend has it that Tsugawa was so awed by the director while watching him at work as a young child that he asked if he could use "Makino" as his last name should he ever be a director, because of the similarities of the first names.
