Сюжет
[ редактировать ]В Джинзе обнаружено мертвое тело невидимого человека, наряду с нотой самоубийства. В записке показывается, что есть по крайней мере еще один невидимый человек, который еще жив. Бывший командир армии показывает, что во время войны доктор Нишизаки случайно обнаружил частицу, которая при правильном использовании превращает любой объект невидимым. В конце Тихоокеанской войны специальный корпус атаки, состоящий из невидимых мужчин, потерпел крушение на острове Сайпан , и считались мертвыми, однако двое выжили. Эффекты частицы невидимости не могут быть отменены.
Soon, there are robberies across Tokyo from a gang calling themselves the Invisible Men. Meanwhile Nanjo, a clown who works at the cabaret Kurofune befriends a young blind girl, Mariko, who lives in the same apartment. Komatsu, a newspaper reporter who witnessed the death of the invisible man, is investigating the phenomenon and spots Nanjo while visiting a robbed jewelry store. In a fake deal to gather money to cure Mariko's blindness, her grandfather is killed by the gang that has been terrorizing the town.
Soon after, Komatsu, who has been following Nanjo, finds himself alone in a room with him and discovers that Nanjo is, in fact, the other invisible man. He dresses as a clown with face makeup, gloves and so on so as to appear visible and lead a relatively normal life. Nanjo and Komatsu decide to work together to investigate and reveal the identity of the gang that is terrorizing the town and who murdered Mariko's grandfather, while also trying to save Michiyo, a singer who is stuck within the gang and cannot escape. They discover that the gang is led by the same people who own Kurofune, and in an ensuing battle and chase, Nanjo, using his invisibility to his advantage, saves Michiyo and kills Yajima, the gang boss. However, he is also fatally wounded in the fight and becomes visible again. He asks Michiyo to take good care of Mariko in his last breath.

Production
[edit]Filming
[edit]Tomei Ningen was shot in black-and-white at academy ratio.[2] The special effects were directed by Eiji Tsuburaya.[1] David Kalat noted that Tsuburaya's special effects were "clever but sparingly used."[3] Tomei Ningen was a primary influence on Toho's Mutant Series, a trilogy of science-fiction films produced from 1958 to 1960 (The H-Man, The Secret of the Telegian and The Human Vapor).
Special effects
[edit]The scene where Nanjo scrubs off his clown makeup, revealing his invisibility was achieved with Kawazu gradually covering his face with black greasepaint; when combined with a separately photographed background, the dark shades became see-through, and the actor seemed to wipe away his very being.
For scenes where Nanjo throws things or moves the around, piano wire was used to simulate the invisible man holding these objects.
Release
[edit]Tomei Ningen was released in Japan by Toho on December 29, 1954.[1] Any release of the film in the United States is undetermined. No evidence exists that it was ever dubbed in English.[1]
Daiei Film produced two similar films featuring invisibility, The Invisible Man Appears in 1949, and The Invisible Man vs. The Human Fly in 1957.[4]
