Life and career

Nishino was born in 1987 in Tokyo, Japan.[1] During his childhood, he watched Ultraman via his mother recording a rebroadcast of the series on VHS. Nishino said that the series "sparked my interest in film".[2] During his years at elementary school, Nishino's father hired Michael Bay's The Rock, which inspired him to enter the film industry.[3] Shin Ultraman director Shinji Higuchi stated that Nishino wrote a "thesis in college on Tohl Narita, who originally designed Ultraman and the Kaiju of the original series."[2]

In 2011, he began his career in film and television after joining Toho.[1][4] That year, his first film as a producer, Paternal Womb, was released.[5] Two years later, while working in advertising at Tokai and Hokuriku, he was transferred to the planning division of Toho and worked on the television series Hard Nuts!.[6] He has since worked as a producer on Toho's My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday,[7] Spark,[8] Killing for the Prosecution,[9] It Comes,[10] Fortuna's Eye, Brave: Gunjyo Senki,[11] and Shin Ultraman.[12]
