After one year, he dropped out of the army, then in 1934, he made his debut as a director with the short nonsense comedy, "Nukiashi Sashiashi Hijoji Shobai" (emergency business of a soft walker), starring the 10-year-old Hideko TAKAMINE, which was underestimated.
一年後に除隊し、1934年、当時10歳の高峰秀子が主役のナンセンス短編喜劇『ぬき足さし足・非常時商売』で監督デビューするが、評価は低かった。
