User:JoshuSasori/Self introduction

I started this Wikipedia account on 1 February 2012. My user name is taken from the Japanese title of the "Female Convict 701: Scorpion" films.

My main contribution to Wikipedia is on Japanese cinema and television. I am most interested in 1950s to 1980s Japanese cinema (the "Showa era"). Rather than dealing with topics which already have extensive coverage, like Akira Kurosawa, I have been trying to create articles on topics which are not covered, such as Kei Sato or Kiga Kaikyo, and improve the quality of articles on Japanese films, television, and related people, such as actors like Yusaku Matsuda and directors like Kaneto Shindo who are better known in Japan than abroad.

Although I am interested in Japanese cinema, I am not very interested in animated films, soft-porn films, low-budget horror films intended for a non-Japanese audience, or monster movies like Godzilla versus X. Since there are not many people working on Japanese cinema, I watch almost everything to do with Japanese cinema, except for these categories.

I also do minor work to non-cinema articles, especially on Japan-related topics. Usually this consists of tagging articles with poor-quality content, but I have done some work on a few pages. I tried to get Japanese noodles into better shape, and I created a page on Risa Yoshiki, Alan Burgess, who wrote the book "The Small Woman", Georges Surdez, an author of "pulp fiction" about the French Foreign Legion, Mazda K360, Chinami Suzuki, a type of citrus fruit, reikou, and I have worked to improve lemon.
