Meatball Machine (2005) became the international breakthrough movie of Yoshihiro Nishimura's career, as a result of the extensive coverage his special make-up effects work on it received from then-independent movie news website Twitch, beginning over a month before its premiere at the now-defunct Tokyo International Fantastic Film Festival.
Became interested in making models when he saw Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope as a child.
