Kirio Urayama (浦山 桐郎, Urayama Kirio; 14 December 1930 – 20 October 1985)[1] was a Japanese film director and screenwriter.
Born in Hyōgo Prefecture, Urayama graduated from Nagoya University before joining the Nikkatsu studio in 1954.[1] After working as an assistant director to Akinori Matsuo, Yūzō Kawashima and Shohei Imamura, he debuted as a director with Foundry Town in 1962,[1] a film that depicted the life of Zainichi Korean residents of Japan. It helped establish Sayuri Yoshinaga as a major actress (she would collaborate with Urayama several times, including on his final film Yumechiyo’s Diary). Urayama won the Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Award for Foundry Town.[2] His 1963 film Bad Girl (also known as Each day I cry)[3] was entered into the 3rd Moscow International Film Festival where it won a Golden Prize.[4]
He directed a total of eleven films before his death in 1985 of acute heart failure.[1]
