At first, he wanted to become a painter, but at that time it was difficult without property, so he gave up. He was impressed by the film "Kunijii Muso," which got released in 1932, and changed his aspirations to the movie world.
In 1936, he released a 6-minute short animation movie "Shinsetsu Kachikachiyama," in which the script, drawing, shooting, and editing were all done by himself. With the closure of the manga club that he was a member of, he became an assistant director of live-action films.
In 1965, his film "Tokyo Olympics" broke the box office record at that time.
In the latter half of the 1970s, he worked on Yokomizo Seishi's "Kindaichi Kosuke Series". Around this time, he won 5th place in the Kinema Junpo Best Ten, 1st place in the reader's selection, and the 1st Hochi Film Award for Best Picture.
He died at the age of 92 at a hospital in Tokyo on February 13, 2008, due to pneumonia. On March 11, the Government of Japan praised Ichikawa for his many years of contributions to the film industry and his dedication to the development of Japanese culture, and placed him in the fourth rank on February 13, when he passed away.
