* BlackAndGreyMorality: His protagonists are mainly losers or average people who have a few flaws of their own. That said, they're way better than the people they're up against, which often include cannibals, crazed scientists, and corrupt policemen.


Added DiffLines:

* CorruptPolitician: They occasionally show up in his work, with the most obvious example being the ones in ''Helldriver'' and ''Film/MutantGirlsSquad''.
* CrapsackWorld: More often then not, Nishimura's worlds are terrible places to live in, even before something terrible happens.


Added DiffLines:

* GroinAttack: Common in his movies. Expect a lot of dicks to be either kicked, chopped off, or torn/ripped apart.

Creator/TakashiMiike.


Despite working since the 1990's, he didn't truly become noticed until he did effects work for 2005's ''Film/MeatballMachine'', which received praise for its graphic, surreal effects on a low budget. Since then, he's worked on almost every J-sploitation film there is. In 2008, he would release his directoral debut, ''Film/TokyoGorePolice'', based on his 1995 short film ''Anatomia Extinction''. The film received praise for its impressive gore effects and satire, and has been back and forth between effects work and directing/writing.
