Death Powder , Desu Paud? is a 1986 science fictionhorror film written and directed by Japanese poetfolk singer Shigeru Izumiya. It is credited as being the first core film of the Japanese cyberpunk subgenre that emerged during the 1980s, predating both Katsuhiro Otomos anime film adaptation of Akira and Shinya Tsukamotos Tetsuo The Iron Man. Izumiya also stars in the film, alongside Rikako Murakami and Takichi Inukai, as a group of scientists that have stolen a cybernetic android.
