Shugo Oshinari is most well known for his work in the film Batoru rowaiaru II: Rekuiemu, which is also known as Battle Royale II in the United States. His character, Takuma Aoi was the focus of the movie. The film is thought to be a response to the events of 9/11 and the film was somewhat controversial because many thought it reflected negatively on the United States.
