Teruyo Nogami (Japanese: 野上照代, born 24 May 1927) is a Japanese film script supervisor and author.[1] She is best known for her work on many of Akira Kurosawa's films, a partnership that began in 1950.

Life and career

Nogami was born in Tokyo as the daughter of Iwao Nogami, a scholar of German literature and professor at Kobe University after the war. In 1943, she graduated from the Metropolitan Girls' School of Home Economics. She entered the library training school.[2] In 1944, she graduated from the Library Training Institute, and took up a position at the former Yamaguchi High School Library in Yamaguchi Prefecture. After the war she returned to Tokyo and in 1946 she joined the People's Daily and in 1947 she joined Yakumo Shoten.[3]

When she was a student circa 1941, she saw Mansaku Itami's Akanishi Kakita (1936) and wrote a fan letter to him.[4] She became pen pals with the director.[4] After Itami's death, Nogami became an apprentice script supervisor at Daiei's Kyoto Studio in 1949.[1] She began her career as a script supervisor on Akira Nobuchi's Fukkatsu (1950).[1] That year, she also participated in Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon as a script supervisor.[4] In 1951, she moved to Toho and participated in all Kurosawa films after Ikiru as recording, editing and production assistant.[5] In the meantime, she has also been enrolled in Sun Ad since 1966, and has also worked on commercial production. In 1979 she left the company.[6] In 1984, she won the Yomiuri Human Documentary Award for Excellence for Requiem for Father, which depicts her childhood. In 2008, director Yoji Yamada turned this into a movie called Kabei: Our Mother.[7]
