'''Noriko Tatsumi''' ([http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/達巳典子達巳典子 ] - ''Tatsumi Noriko'') is a Japanese actress known primarily for her appearances in ''[[pink film]]s'' of the 1960s. During the "First Wave" of ''pink film'', Tatsumi became known as the first "Queen" of Japanese sex movies, a title which she held from 1967 through 1970. She most often appeared in the films of the World Eiga and Nihon Cinema studios, and is best known for her work with director Koji Seki, especially ''Whore'' (1967) and ''Erotic Culture Shock'' (1969).<ref name="Weisser-79">{{cite book |last=Weisser|first=Thomas|coauthors=Yuko Mihara Weisser|title=Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films|year=1998|publisher=Vital Books : Asian Cult Cinema Publications|location=Miami|isbn=1-88928-852-7|pages=79}}</ref> She also appeared in director and Seijun Suzuki script-writer, Atsushi Yamatoya's influential 1967 cult film, ''Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands''.<ref name="Weisser-210-211">Weisser, p.210-211.</ref>

==Life and career==
===1967===
Tatsumi made her ''pink film'' debut in 1967. There is some discrepancy as to which film was her debut. Some sources say that Tatsumi's first film was ''Double Docking'' aka ''Two Virgins'', while others claim that her debut was in ''Muddy Uniform''.<ref name="Weisser-120">Weisser, p.120</ref> Director Shintaro Kishi is usually credited with launching Tatsumi's career, by giving her a starring role in his ''Double Docking''.<ref name="Weisser, p.261">Weisser, p.261.</ref> Tatsumi's role is that of a woman who starts working in a nightclub in order to discover the mystery behind her sister's disappearance. In the process, she finds an illicit prostitution ring.<ref name="Weisser-120"/> ''Muddy Uniform'', intended as a juvenile delinquent film, became a ''pink film'' by default because of its abundant sex scenes.<ref>Weisser, p.281.</ref> In another early film, ''Clutches'' (1967), Tatsumi plays a gold-digger who takes over a businessman's enterprise.<ref>Weisser, p.80.</ref>

Nihon Cinema's ''Whore'' (1967) teamed Tatsumi with actress Miki Hayashi and director Koji Seki. The film was a suspense thriller with Tatsumi as a woman plotting her husband's death to collect a large inheritance.<ref>{{cite book |last=Cowie|first=Peter (editor)|title=World Filmography 1967|year=1977|publisher=Tantivy Press|location=London|isbn=0-498015-65-3|pages=p.341|chapter=Japan}}</ref> Tatsumi would continue to work with Hayashi and Seki throughout the 1960s.<ref>Weisser, p.503.</ref>

In director Toshio Okuwaki's ''Climax'' (1967), Tatsumi plays the role of a woman engaged to a rich man. Her overly-protective brother, a poor college student, is against the marriage, but agrees to cause no problems in exchange for a loan from his sister's fiancee. When he later comes to the conclusion that he has betrayed his values, he murders his sister.<ref>Cowie, ''World Filmography, 1967'', p.347.</ref> The Weissers, in their ''Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films'', judge the film better than Okuwaki's more typical, later work, and conclude, "It's not great filmmaking, but at least this movie manages to be unique within its grim view of life."<ref name="Weisser-79"/>

Suzuki screenwriter Atsushi Yamatoya's directorial debut,<ref>Cowie, ''World Filmography'', 1967, p.378.</ref> ''Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands'' (1967) is a hallucinogenic ''film-noir''-style satire which became "one of the major cult films of the '60s".<ref>Weisser, p.254.</ref> The plot involves a rich businessman whose girlfriend is raped and killed by four men. When the men send the businessman a film of the crime, he complains about the film's poor cinematography. While practising shooting targets in the desert, the businessman hires a private detective to track down the criminals. The private investigator discovers the woman is not really dead, becomes involved in a sexual liaison with her, and then she is again "killed" by the four criminals. The private investigator comes across a shack in the middle of a desert filled with mannequins modeled after the girl. After a mysterious gunshot, the film circles back to the target-practise scene where the businessman is hiring the private eye.<ref name="Weisser-210-211"/> During the filming of this cult film, Tatsumi and lead actor Shohei Yamamoto simultaneously appeared in ''Love's Milky Drops'' using the same sets as ''Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands''.<ref>Weisser, p. 211.</ref>

The ''pink films'' of this era had very low budgets and were made by independent studios. ''Pink film'' directors from the critically-respected Koji Wakamatsu to the critically-reviled Giichi Nishihara generally focused on sensationalistic, violent, and often mysogynistic themes. Tatsumi, however, became associated with the higher-class productions within the genre. ''Lynch and Rope'' (1967) was an unusual project for Tatsumi in this regard, because she normally avoided this type of violent, S&M genre film. She lent her voice to the film as narrator, and it is assumed that she participated in the project as a favor to the film's director, the man who helped start her career, Shintaro Kishi.<ref name="Weisser, p.261"/>

Tatsumi was paired-- almost-- with future Nikkatsu ''Roman Porno'' queen, [[Naomi Tani]] in ''Memoirs Of A Modern Female Doctor'' (1967). The film was in two separate sections, and Tatsumi and Tani appeared in different stories.<ref>Weisser, p.269</ref> Tatsumi's story had her as a sexually-promiscuous office lady who sleeps with her boss and co-workers, eventually becoming pregnant.<ref>Cowie, ''World Filmography, 1967'', p.354.</ref> Director Mamoru Watanabe's ''Slave Widow'' (1967) had three major ''pink film'' stars together-- Noriko Tatsumi, Mari Iwai and Naomi Tani.<ref>Cowie, ''World Filmography, 1967'', p.351.</ref> One of the better films of the First Wave of ''pink film'', Tatsumi's acting ability was singled out for praise in this film which helped her to attain the status of Queen of the ''Pink film''.<ref>Weisser, p.394-395.</ref> Along with Genji Nakamura and Banmei Takahashi, director Mamoru Watanabe is considered one of the three "Pillars of Pink" of the Wave of ''Pink film''.<ref>Weisser, "SPOTLIGHT: 3 Pillars Of Pink", p.237-240.</ref>

===1968===
Though Nikkatsu's wouldn't officially enter the ''pink film'' genre until the inception of their ''Roman Porno'' series in November, 1971, they did experiment with the form in 1968. In ''Tokyo Bathhouse'', Tatsumi was at the top of the cast of over 30 sex-film stars of the era in cameo appearances. According to ''Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films'', "There has never been - and never again will be - such a smorgasbord of major sex stars populating one movie."<ref>Weisser, p.434.</ref> Tatsumi given top billing among the was listed as the star.<ref name="World Filmography 1968-411">Cowie. ''World Filmography 1968'', p.411.</ref> Several of the ''pink film'' stars stayed on for ''Ukiyo-e Women'' (1968), Nikkatsu's sister-film to their first ''pink'' project.<ref name="World Filmography 1968-411"/> Of the all sex-film star cast, ''Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films'' reports, "The stand-out among all the succulent beauties is Noriko Tatsumi who plays an extremely passionate nun."<ref>Weisser, p.445-446</ref>

Controversial early ''pink film'' director Tetsuji Takechi chose Tatsumi as the female lead in his ''Ukiyo-E Cruel Story'' (1968).<ref>Cowie, ''World Filmography, 1968'', p.430.</ref> Made after Takechi's imprisonment and high-profile trial over his 1965 film ''Black Snow'', ''Ukiyo-e Cruel Story'' was intended as a direct message to Eirin, the Japanese film-rating board. Made after Takechi had won the trial, the film is about a painter of erotic pictures who is persecuted by the government. Though still containing significant erotic content, this is one of Takechi's few films to pass the censor relatively un-edited, perhaps because Eirin feared losing another embarrassing public confrontation with the outspoken director.<ref>Weisser, p.445.</ref>

===1969===
''Erotic Culture Shock: Swapping Partners'' (1969) concerns a woman whose husband is eager to experiment with wife-swapping. She refuses until she discovers that her father is involved in a similar activity.<ref>Weisser, p.129-130.</ref> ''Packed-Full With Women'' (1969) was a sex-comedy which gave Tatsumi little to do but take off her clothes.<ref>Weisser, p.305-306.</ref>
