Daisuke Yamanouchi
actor
Daisuke Yamanouchi (山内大輔, Yamanouchi Daisuke; born 4 July 1972) is a Japanese film director who has worked in mainstream film, pink film, straight-to-video V-cinema and adult videos (AV).
Life and career
In 1994, Yamanouchi submitted his short film Blood Red Girls (血の赤に染めろ) to the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival, where it won the Jury Prize in the Off Theater Competition. The following year, he worked as an Assistant Director under Keita Amemiya on the fantasy film, Moon Over Tao: Makaraga (タオの月, Tao no tsuki), which was released in November 1997. From 1998 to 2000, Yamanouchi wrote and directed a number of straight-to-video V-cinema productions, usually involving extreme gore and horror, such as Red Room, Girl Hell 1999, Muzan-e and Dead a Go! Go!, which were later released on DVD in the United States. These DVDs became well enough known in the United States to give Yamanouchi a mention in Alexandra Heller-Nicholas' 2011 book Rape-Revenge Films: A Critical Study.
In 2002, Yamanouchi made his directorial debut in pink film, with Maria Yumeno: Chō-inran onna no shiseikatsu starring AV Idol Maria Yumeno. His 2006 pink film, Beautiful Lesbian Sisters: On the Day of Mourning... won the Best Film, 4th Place at the 2006 Pink Grand Prix ceremony. He won a second award when his December 2010 film, Irokoi sata Sadako no bôken: Watashi no ai shita shôgu-tachi yo..., took the Best Film, 1st Place prize at the 2011 Pink Grand Prix ceremony.

Why this record matters
The phrase “actor” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3700922. VIAF identifies the subject as 4818157527322327300006. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1972, 1994, 1997 and 1998.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
