Naomi Tani
In this early period, the company mostly distributed films from other production studios, either those produced by the original Shintōhō or bought from other independent studios, but it also began to produce its own films. Among these early films was the sadomasochistic April 1968 "" produced by Tokyo Kōei and featuring future "pink film" superstar Naomi Tani. Another early work was the September 1968 release "Love Hotel" directed by Shin'ya Yamamoto (director) and also produced by Tokyo Kōei.
