Emperor Tomato Ketchup is a Japanese short experimental film made by Shūji Terayama. A 27-minute cut was released in 1971. A "director's cut" of sorts, attempting to recreate the film as originally made in 1970, was released as a 75-minute feature in 1996, 13 years after Terayama's death.

Plot

A young boy is the emperor of a country in which children have overthrown the adults.

The British alternative rock band Stereolab named their 1996 album Emperor Tomato Ketchup after the film.
