Career
Born in Fujishima, Yamagata (now part of the city of Tsuruoka), Togashi attended Rikkyō University, where he was inspired by the lectures on cinema by the critic Shigehiko Hasumi.{{cite web|last=Arai|first=Yukihiro|title=Ko Sōmai Shinji kantoku no saigo no deshi, Togashi Shin|url=http://www.araiyukihiro.com/dokkoi_column/column_011.html|work=Dokkoi Yamagatajin|accessdate=19 June 2011|language=Japanese|date=14 September 2004}} After graduating, he worked as an assistant director for pink films until he got the chance to work with his hero, the director Shinji Sōmai. Assisting on such films as Typhoon Club (1984), he got his first chance to direct a section of the omnibus film Kawaii hito (1998), which was supervised by Sōmai. That helped him make his feature film debut with Off-Balance.
He won the award for best New Director at the 23rd Yokohama Film Festival.{{Cite web|url= http://homepage3.nifty.com/yokohama-eigasai/23-2001/23-2001_shou.html|script-title= ja:第23回ヨコハマ映画祭 日本映画個人賞|accessdate= 2011-01-06|language= Japanese|publisher= Yokohama Film Festival|url-status= dead|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20120928063619/http://homepage3.nifty.com/yokohama-eigasai/23-2001/23-2001_shou.html|archivedate= 28 September 2012|df= dmy-all}}
