{{expand}}'''Shinya Tsukamoto''' (born January 1, 1960) is a Japanese film director and actor who has twice worked with [[Nine Inch Nails]]. [[Trent Reznor]] stated in an interview[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IwIxiovt_I] that the idea for the metaphor of a person becoming a machine on the song "[[The Becoming]]" was inspired by Tsukamoto's ''Tetsuo: The Iron Man''.

==Work with NIN==

===[[TOH (Top Of The Hour)]]===

~~[[Trent~~ Reznor]] had previously contacted Tsukamoto with a request to make a music video, which due to label difficulties had never been achieved. However, Tsukamoto was approached to create a TV spot for MTV Japan, and so he was able to collaborate with Reznor on the 50 second piece.

About:

<blockquote>Made by Tsukamoto Shinya as the first-ever station ID for MTV Japan, this video was called "TOH (Top of the Hour)". It was used from September 1993 til August 1994.

~~<br>~~

So far, a number of famous film-makers have made the TOH in the US. This time - exclusively for MTV Japan - Nine Inch Nails, who had been asking Tsukamoto to do their promotional video, penned the music. With this familiar melody [''sic''] by NIN, the video almost feels like a scene from the movie Tetsuo.

[[The NIN Hotline]] was able to acquire the trailer in September 2010, and posted it to YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK5XgMjORHc&feature=player_embedded].

===Tetsuo:The Bullet Man===

In 2009, Reznor and Tsukamoto once again were able to work together, this time with Reznor creating the [[Theme For Tetsuo: The Bullet Man|theme]] to the third in Tsukamoto's epic cult series ''Tetsuo'', entitled ''Tetsuo: The Bullet Man''.
