Satsuo Yamamoto was a Japanese film director.

The Toho strikes , also translated as the Toho labor disputes or Toho labor upheaval, were a series of strike actions taken by workers in the Toho labor union against Toho management between 1946 and 1948. The third and largest action was notable for the union's months-long occupation of the Toho film studio, and their eventual removal by police backed by the United States Army.
