Biography from TheMovieDB

Tadanori Usami (宇佐美忠則, Usami Tadanori) is a Japanese adult video (AV) director. He is credited with directing more than 450 videos in a career spanning over twenty years.  Usami started working as a director in the adult video industry as early as May 1993 with the video After School Love for the VIP studio. In the mid and late-1990s, he directed a number of videos for HRC and Alice Japan. By May 2003, he was directing regularly for the Moodyz studio, part of the large Japanese porn conglomerate, the Hokuto Corporation.  Over the next several years with Moodyz, Usami won a number of awards at the annual year-end Moodyz Awards ceremonies for Hokuto Corporation companies. At the 2004 Moodyz Awards, his video Digital Mosaic Vol. 37 won the top Moodyz Award, and Usami took one of the Director Awards. In 2005 he won the IdeaPocket Award for his video First Impression Rena Nagai with that company, while in 2006 he took the 2nd Place Best Director Award and won one of the Best Title Awards for Deep Impact - Honoka Sell Debut with AV idol Honoka for the AV company Premium. At the 2007 ceremony, he again took the 2nd Place Best Director Award but in 2008 won both the Best Director Award and the Best Title Award for High School Girl and Sex for IdeaPocket.  Also in 2008, Usami was given the award for the Best Featured Actress Video at the AV GrandPrix contest for his video Race Queen Climax Squirt AV Debut for AV producer Premium.  Tadanori was one of the chief directors at the IdeaPocket company having directed over 200 videos for them by April 2014 and at Premium with more than 150 video credits to his name by that same date. Usami is particularly known for introducing new actresses to adult videos, having directed about 200 of these "debut" works, about 70 of them in IdeaPocket's "First Impression" series.  Over his long career, Usami has directed several well-known AV idols including: Honoka, Tina Yuzuki (Rio), Sora Aoi, An Nanba, Yua Aida, Riko Tachibana, Kaede Matsushima, Bunko Kanazawa, Akiho Yoshizawa, and more recently, Mayu Nozomi (in her AV debut), Azumi Uehara and Aino Kishi.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
