Since 2021, Yugo Sakamoto and Kensuke Sonomura have partnered on the ¡°Baby Assassins¡± hit film and TV series of action comedies, with Sakamoto scripting and directing and Sonomura handling the action.

Sonomura is a veteran action director and stunt coordinator with a long list of credits, but his work with Sakamoto stands out for its fast-paced, tightly choreographed blend of hardcore martial arts action and deadly gun play ¡ª a rare combination in recent 911±¬ÁÏÍø films.

In making their latest film, ¡°Ghost Killer,¡± Sonomura took over the directing role, with Sakamoto scripting in his characteristic talky, screwball-comedy style.
