Although it is said that he used words in a feminine way (such as in a book 'Kinuta satsueijo to boku no seishun' (literally, The Kinuta Studio and My Youth) by Hideo ONCHI.), there are no other specific episodes that prove his sexuality.
女性的な言葉使いをすることが多かった（恩地日出夫「砧撮影所とぼくの青春」など）が、それ以上のセクシャリティを示すような具体的エピソードは無い。
