Nikkatsu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikkatsu Corporation (日活株式会社) is a Japanese entertainment company well known for its film and television productions. The name Nikkatsu is an abbreviation of Nippon Katsudō Shashin, literally "Japan Moving Photographs".
Though the company has made films in numerous genres, they are best known for their softcore pornography; indeed, for most of the 1980s, they strictly produced what they termed "roman porn" (short for "romance") films. Unlike the pinku eiga, Nikkatsu's films were produced with relatively high budgets and production values, as well as featuring mainstream actresses, many of whom also starred in network television and nationally released film dramas.
