**監督** // **ディレクター** – _kantoku // direkutā_. The **director** is responsible for handling the finer details of production and determines how a show is run. The kinds of work they deal with depends on the medium and scale of production but they generally oversee the overall design and planning with the rest of the staff as it comes together. They are usually referred to as the hands-on-set counterpart of the producer, though while they indeed serve different and important functions, the producer tends to be seen as the more authoritative role especially in fields (such as TV) where the producer picks the director.
