He won the award for Best Director at the 12th Hochi Film Award[2] and at the 9th Yokohama Film Festival for The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On.[3] That film also earned him the Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Award.[4] In 2017 he released the documentary Sennan Asbestos Disaster which received the 2017 Audience Award at the Tokyo Filmex International Film Festival and the 2017 BIFF Mecenat Award at the Busan International Film Festival.[5]
