Comment: Just a quick glance at the Japanese page indicates he's won several awards. I don't have the time right now to look at it and expand the article, so anyone can grab that info and add it. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I see several Google books and web hits. I also saw awards but did not translate them. He's Japanese, living/working in Japan, so more sources will likely be available in that language. meets GNG.104.163.144.60 (talk) 03:49, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I chopped and cleaned up the article a bit, and added three new refs. Over the years he has won many industry awards. See this Adweek mention of an award for his directing, for example. He has also won awards from the Japan Media Arts Festival, which is highly prestigious. I think it's clear a keeper, but that the CV awards listing has to be chopped down so that this article is not merely a CV.104.163.144.60 (talk) 04:18, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:GNG. He's won some awards, but there are no in-depth articles about him. No wide coverage of him, doing what he does. He's on his way, but not quite there yet. WP:TOOSOON. SW3 5DL (talk) 23:43, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He has won multiple significant awards in his field for multiple works. These are not just "some awards", but D&AD Wood and Graphite Pencils (yes, unusual names for awards), a Clio Gold Award, an Epica Gold Award, two Cannes Lions Gold Awards, and LIA Gold and Bronze Awards. All of those together grant notability per WP:DIRECTOR by showing his works have "won significant critical attention". ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:29, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the awards presented by Nihonjoe. Passes WP:DIRECTOR. Laurdecl ^talk 03:02, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
