I just watched _"Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni"_. I haven't seen any sequel yet.

In the first story arc, when Rena and Mion trap Keiichi in his own house, they
speak of some sort of coming " _director_ " (or perhaps _principal_ ,
depending on the translation). Keiichi asks who's him, but they just insist
with _"the director is the director!"_.

Who's the director?

The identity of the director is revealed within the first season, so if you
haven't finished it, just keep watching. However, given your comment, it seems
you have finished it so the explanation is below.

The "director" is one of the ways the children in the show refer to the head
of the medical clinic, Irie Kyōsuke. Since he is the coach of the baseball
team, he is often referred to as "Kantoku" which translates to "manager,"
"director," "coach," etc.

I've watched the show with several different sets of subtitles, and I've seen
all of those translations at least once.
