Wiki.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup (トマトケチャップ皇帝, Tomato Kechappu Kōtei) is a Japanese short experimental film made by Shūji Terayama in 1970. A 27-minute cut was released in 1971. A "director's cut" of sorts, attempting to recreate the film as originally made, was released as a 75-minute feature in 1996, thirteen years after Terayama's death.

A twelve minute abridgement of the film, Rock Paper Scissors War (ジャンケン戦争, Jan-ken-sensō), was also released in 1971.
