Shozin Fukui (福居ショウジン) is a Japanese film director and screenwriter, known as a modern expert of the Cyberpunk genre. Shozin Fukui has produced three experimental shorts---Metal Days, Gerorisuto, and Caterpillar ---along with two full-length films, 964 Pinocchio and the "truly bizarre" Rubber's Lover. (964 Pinocchio is often compared to the cyberpunk classic Tetsuo: The Iron Man.) Excluding Metal Days, Shozin Fukui's movies were widely available, having been issued on DVD by Unearthed Films. However, these releases have since gone out of print. Fukui has released four films since then, Onne, Den-Sen, The Hiding, and S-94. Shozin Fukui worked as Assistant Director during Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Many fans and critics consider Fukui's aesthetic to be different enough from Tsukamoto's for Fukui's films to stand on their own, even considering the extremely deep similarities.
