評価・遺産
Masaichi Nagata was a charismatic, producer-driven force who steered Daiei and helped bring postwar Japanese cinema to the world stage. His strong producer-led approach and political/business connections enabled numerous major productions, but his unilateral management and overreach contributed to his company's collapse, leaving a contested legacy.
