Great, stylish director (the Japanese Melville?). I've only seen about ten of his 40+ films. Haven't managed to get my hands on those Arrow sets yet.
For now I more or less agree with the consensus that his best are the final two films from his "first wave", the pop-neon Tokyo Drifter and the sharp widescreen B&W Branded to Kill, two highly stylised, abstractly plotted crime capers.
I also really enjoyed the lesser known Carmen From Kawachi (below).
