Takao Nakano (中野貴雄 Nakano Takao?, born May 15, 1962) is a Japanese film director, screenwriter and actor who has worked in pink film, adult videos (AV), and in mainstream comedy, horror and fantasy films. Film critic Jasper Sharp describes him as one of the few figures in the Japanese erotic film scene who have made a name for themselves overseas.
Nakano was born in Osaka, Japan in 1962. He began working in pink film with the Shintōhō Eiga company and in 1991, together with Toshiki Satō and Toshiya Ueno, Nakano assembled a conpendium of the best scenes from pink films which was released by Shintōhō Eiga as That's Hentai-tainment.
Nakano made his debut as a director with the pink film Super Extreme Real Performance: Stupefaction (超過激本番・失神 Chō kageki honban" shassin?), also known as Spiral Zone, for Shintōhō Eiga in 1992. Nakano won the Best New Director award at the 1992 Pink Grand Prix ceremony.
Nakano moved into the adult video (AV) scene in 1993 directing two videos for V&R Planning, The Playgirls (ザ・プレイガールズ?) and The Playgirls 2 (ザ・プレイガールズ2 裸の夜の悩殺拳?). The next year, Nakano produced the tentacle rape genre video, ExorSister, the first of a series of four hardcore erotic horror releases. The videos all featured manga artist Bang Ippongi as Maria Cruel the ExorSister. The Allmovie site commented on the "cheesy" quality of the shot on video productions. One of the sequels Uratsukidōji: Daiinshin Fukkatsu-hen starred AV Idol Yumika Hayashi. Nakano followed this series with the 1996 softcore comedy video Sumo Vixens (花のおんな相撲 Hana no onna sumō?) featuring topless sumo wrestling girls including actress Kei Mizutani. It was later (2001) released with English subtitles. As an actor, Nakano performed in the gay-themed 1997 pink film The Gays in Wonderland (不思議の国のゲイたち Fushigi no kuni no gei-tachi?).
