In the recent news:
"Japanese studio Nikkatsu is launching an extreme gore label, Sushi Typhoon, to produce films from Japan’s leading cult directors including Takashi Miike (Yatterman) and Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police)."

Their first project is Versus choreographer / Death Trance director Yuuji Shimomora's Alien vs Ninja, which was already sold to UK based on unfinished 1 minute promo video (not available for public viewing I'm afraid).

Re: Nikkatsu's Sushi Typhoon + Alien vs Ninja (Yuuji Shimomu
This is an interesting girl. She plays a (male) Astro-Mutant in the film. Looks like she's quite closely associated with Nishimura and pals, having appeared in numerous films by them. And her blog is great. There was bit where she was writing how she "escaped" from her manager and sneaked into movie theater to see Tetsuo 3.Sheldon Warnock at AV Maniacs wrote:
The official blog of Maki Mizui (formerly Sayako Nakoshi) is now online.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/mmizui/
Not quite a pure angel though. She's got a bit side business in AV, although she doesn't appear to be a full on star. And her idol pics were enough for google to block some links based on how young she looks. Her age appears to be a national secret. August 10th birthday, but absolutely no mention of year anywhere. Not as far as I could find, anyway.
As you can see, the stuff from her blog is pretty great.
ok, then let's move on to the film, Mutant Girls Squad. Well, Ass chainsaw, breast swords, Astro-Mutant. Do I need to say more?
The third announced but first released Sushi Typhoon film draws the cult factory’s main aces from the pocket: Tak Sakaguchi, Noboru Iguchi, and Yoshihiro Nishimura. The action / comedy / special effects trio was each assigned to do what they best know (although Iguchi doesn’t know anything very well). The outcome is an Iguchi scripted, Sakaguchi choreographed and Nishimura splattered action comedy for which each of the directors helmed one third. Sakaguchi’s action packed opening sets up the story of a 16 year old Rin, who is to play a role in the soon to come humans vs. mutants war. Iguchi’s Sukeban Deka inspired training section follows, until Nishimura finally owns the pic with his insane special effects showdown that required him to purchase a new pump to handle all the blood. Despite Iguchi’s slightly lesser middle third the film is inventive and energetic low budget gore fun that overcomes its production values with a vengeance. CGI gore in the first two episodes is the main distraction, but soon forgiven as the X-Men esque girl trio starts raping men with their mutant tentacle noses.

Re: Nikkatsu's Sushi Typhoon + Alien vs Ninja
Alien vs. Ninja (2010)
If it bleeds, ninjas can kill it! The first wave of Sushi Typhoon titles, a Nikkatsu sub-label created to produce cool films only, opens with Seiji Chiba’s directorial effort assisted by two full time action directors: Yuji Shimomura (Versus) and Kensuke Sonomura (Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle). It’s a “storyline go fuck yourself” affair all about a death match between violent ninjas and sleazy aliens. Alien vs. Ninja is tongue in the cheek action fun with mini budget but high flying imagination. Guts and body parts are splatter over the battle ground, but serious brutality is kept to minimum, and the some of the plentiful humor would even make old school Hong Kong audiences blush. Special effects and creature design rely on traditional handwork and men in rubber suits, with occasional silly CG effect purely played for laughs. While the film could do with slightly more serious tone and more gore, the over-the-top inventiveness was greeted by an enthusiastic festival audience with big applauses 6 or 7 times during the film. Talk about crowd pleaser.
Trailer (color corrected and better quality than the previous versions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTJgAgdfBEI
The female star of AvN, Mika Hijii, is no stranger to ninja films. She co-starred alongside Scott Adkins in the US production Ninja (2009), and played the lead role in Seiji Chiba's 2009 kunoichi (female ninja) film Nukenin, in which she really gets to display her action talent while killing a few dozen sneaky ninjas and dirty samurais with swords and fists. Sadly, the film isn't nearly as much fun as AvN, featuring a dull storyline, no aliens, and placing its best action scenes in the beginning of the film. She has also acted in the tokusatsu shows Garo and Kamen Rider Blade.

I remember her now. I've seen her in some making off docs and TGP Short Collection end credits I think... I was always wondering who's that incredibly cute girl. I probably have screencaps too... let me seeSheldon Warnock at AV Maniacs wrote:

Mizui worked as an assistant to Yoshihiro Nishimura on such movies as Noboru Iguchi's The Machine Girl (Kataude mashin gâru) - see the photo above.
Mizui was in Kikurin's peeverted AV (adult video) Student Bully Group 2 ([White circle] gakusei ijimekko gurûpu 2) - in the still below, she's the student with waist-length hair - which was released on DVD in Japan on August 16, 2007.

What the hell are you waiting for with Love Exposure??? You should have seen it already. Three times
Probably the best Asian movie in 10 years or so. Seen it 4 times, shown it to friends around the world, always loved by everyone.

and for the ease of keeping track, here are the films so far:
1. Alien vs. Ninja (Go Ohara)
2. Mutant Girls Squad (Yoshihiro Nishimura, Noboru Iguchi and Tak Takaguchi)
3. Cold Fish (Sion Sono)
4. Helldriver (Yoshihiro Nishimura)
5. Karate Robo Zaborgar (Noboru Iguchi)
6. Yakuza Weapon (Yuudai Yudai Yamaguchi and Tak Sakaguchi)
7. Deadball (Yudai Yamaguchi)
And as for Zaborgar... I must say Iguchi quite a guy. Never a good movie has he done (even if I write like Yoda would), but once again, the stills alone are enough to win me over. A great film this could be!
