Biography

Tsutomu Shigemune (July 27, 1896 – December 4, 1971) was a Japanese director. At Shochiku Studios, Shigemune directed more than forty films in the silent era. He rose through the ranks at Shochiku along with his contemporary, Heinosuke Gosho, and they made their directing debuts in 1925 just two months apart.

After the war, Shigemune taught in the film department of Kamakura Academy.
