Life and career
Mutajima was born on July 13, 1967, in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. He began his long career in the Japanese film industry as a film editor on Shunichi Nagasaki's Romance (1996), followed by Masato Hara's 20th Century Nostalgia (1997), and Katsuo Naruse's Immoral Affairs (1997). Thereafter, he worked on a wide range of obscure films from various directors and studios, including Akiyoshi Imazeki's Seventeen, Yuji Nakae's Hotel Hibiscus (both 2002), and Shinobu Yaguchi's Swing Girls (2004), and Nobuhiro Yamashita's Linda Linda Linda (2005). He began working with filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki on his breakthrough film Always: Sunset on Third Street (2005), as well as its sequel Always: Sunset on Third Street 2 (2007), before working with Yamazaki's future wife Shimako Satō on her film K-20: Legend of the Mask (2008). Miyajima then went on to collaborate with Yamazaki on almost all of his films thereafter, including Ballad (2009), Space Battleship Yamato (2010), The Eternal Zero (2013), The Great War of Archimedes (2019), and Godzilla Minus One (2023).
