Childhood Days

Childhood Days (Japanese: 少年時代, Hepburn: Shōnen jidai), also known as Takeshi - Childhood Days, is a 1990 Japanese film directed by Masahiro Shinoda. It was chosen as Best Film at the 14th Japan Academy Prize ceremony. It is based on two sources: the novel The Long Road by Hyozo Kashiwabara, and a manga adaptation of the novel by Fujiko Fujio.

The film is a story of childhood life during wartime Japan. Takeshi, the intelligent son of a fisherman, is the schoolyard bully.

When his cousin comes to stay with his family to avoid bombing raids, Takeshi at first treats him well then begins bullying him, too. Takeshi eventually loses his position of leadership.
