Kinji Fukasaku was born on 3 July 1930 in Mito, Ibaraki, the youngest of five children. When he was 15 years old, his entire class was drafted, and he worked as a munitions worker during World War II. In July 1945, the class was caught in a bombing. Since the children could not escape the bombs, they had to dive under each other in order to survive; the surviving members of the class had to dispose of the corpses. After the war, he spent much of his time watching foreign films.
