Daisuke Gotō's inaugural foray into filmmaking as a director was with the Nikkatsu Roman Porno film "Bed Partner" in 1988, which marked the conclusion of the final double-bill in that series. This debut effort earned Gotō the esteemed Best New Director award at the Zoom Up Film Festival.
Following the demise of Nikkatsu, Gotō primarily worked in the V-cinema realm, crafting straight-to-video sequels to earlier film series. Some notable titles from this period include "Sasori in the U.S.A." and the "Zero Woman" series.
In 2001, Gotō made his Pink film debut with "Mourning Wife." Throughout his career, Gotō has been recognized for his versatility in directing a wide range of genres.
Jasper Sharp has praised Gotō's "A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn" (2003) as the Pink film that showcases the genre at its most inventive, albeit bewildering.
