Their early work included the 1985 project Distorted Sense of Touch, credited under the name Masao, which marked their first documented involvement in a film production.
In 1989, Watari contributed to Shimai renzoku reipu: Eguru!, a film that further established their presence in niche film circles. Their most notable credit is as the writer for Splatter: Naked Blood in 1996, a title that gained attention for its visceral and unconventional approach to horror. Watari’s contributions reflect a focus on provocative and boundary-pushing narratives within the Japanese film scene.
