Shinobu Hashimoto (Japanese: 橋本 忍, Hashimoto Shinobu) (born 18 April 1918) is a Japanese screenwriter, director, producer, and was a frequent collaborator with Akira Kurosawa.
He has won some 16 awards for his writing, including a succession of Blue Ribbon Awards, particularly in the 1960s.

Yukie Nakama and Masahiro Nakai are the stars, and the music is by Joe Hisaishi.
