Keisuke Kinoshita
bio je japanski filmski režiser, poznat po izuzetno plodnoj, te žanrovski i stilski raznovrsnoj filmografiji koja ga je učinila jednim od najuglednijih japanskih sinesata u prvim decenijama nakon Drugog svjetskog rata.

Iako o Kinoshitinom privatnom životu ima relativno malo podataka, prema navodima suradnika je njegova homoseksualnost bila javna tajna te je volio biti u društvu mladih i "elegatno odjevenih" muškaraca koje je opisivao kao svoje "pomoćnike".  Njegov film Farewell to Spring (Sekishuncho) iz 1959. godine se zbog prikaza neobične emocionalne privrženosti dvoje muških protagonista ponekad naziva "prvim japanskim gej filmom".
