Hideo Oguni (小国 英雄, Oguni Hideo, 9 July 1904 – 5 February 1996[1]) was a Japanese writer who wrote over 100 screenplays. He is best known for co-writing screenplays for a number of films directed by Akira Kurosawa, including Ikiru, The Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood and The Hidden Fortress.[2] His first film with Kurosawa was Ikiru, and according to film professor Catherine Russell, it was Oguni who devised that film's two-part structure.[3] Film critic Donald Richie regarded him as the "humanist" among Kurosawa's writers.[4] In 2013, Oguni and frequent screenwriting collaborators Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto and Ryūzō Kikushima were awarded the Jean Renoir Award by the Writers Guild of America West.[5]

Writing credits other than for Kurosawa films include Heinosuke Gosho's Where Chimneys Are Seen in 1953, Koji Shima's Warning from Space in 1956, Bin Kato's Heiji Zenigata: Chase the Demon Lantern in 1958, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Hiroshi Inagaki's Machibuse in 1970.[2]
