Decent if not deep Family/Coming of Age melodrama. It's not really that engaging but it is well-acted and short.

A Hero of Tokyo (1935) is not among his best work, but you can see hints early on about his idea of thinking, especially when capturing the kids. The story is probable a little too standard in it's melodrama. Closer to his programmer work, compared to his more artistic journeys like Mr. Thank You (1936) and Children in the Wind (1937). But with such actresses as Mitsuko Yoshikawa & Michiko Kuwano you know you are getting a well-acted drama!
