Hiroki Shirota(I)
- Producer

- Additional Crew
Hiroki Shirota was born in New York and relocated to Japan after high school to attend Keio University. After graduating, he moved to California to pursue his career in the entertainment industry.
Hiroki is one of the pioneers seeing potential in film rights/remake rights to Japanese intellectual properties in Hollywood, selling the first live-action rights that he represented, to New Line in 2005. He has since continued to champion other IPs to establish this niche market.
The first fully produced film for Hiroki, "Midnight Sun," is based on the Japanese film "Song to the Sun." He also took part as Co-producer on "The Outsider," produced by Linson Entertainment and Bloom starring Jared Leto and Tadanobu Asano. He has several remake projects in development and is also liaising with Japanese financiers for investment opportunities in Hollywood.
Hiroki launched Clip Pictures in 2008 as a production arm to produce Japanese commercials in the States, as well as a management division to represent Japanese actors in Hollywood.
