Noboru Tanaka is a Director and Assistant Director Japonais born on 15 august 1937 at Hakuba (Japon)
Noboru Tanaka (田中登, Tanaka Noboru, (August 15, 1937 – October 4, 2006)) was a Japanese film director best known for his Roman Porno films, including three critically respected films known as the Showa trilogy: A Woman Called Sada Abe (aka Sada Abe: Docu-Drama) (1975), Watcher in the Attic (1976), and Beauty's Exotic Dance: Torture! (1977), all three starring Nikkatsu Roman porno queen Junko Miyashita.
