Plot
In Kobe, Kawatani Yuichi (Hitoshi Ozawa), head of the Kawatani-gumi under the Yamazaki-gumi of Kyowakai, once again sparks a brawl in the downtown area with Takei (Kentaro Shimazu) of the rival Nakamura-gumi. After the fight, Kawatani runs up a tab at the bar of his close friend Mikami Tetsuya (Eiichi Furui), head of the Mikami-gumi under Kyowakai’s Ueda-gumi, behaving with his usual arrogance. Disgusted by Kawatani’s conduct, Omiya Kazuya (Kazuyoshi Ozawa), the wakagashira of the Mikami-gumi, uncovers illegal prostitution rings and drug dealing operating without permission inside Mikami-gumi territory. Behind it all is the Nakamura-gumi. Teaming up with a Chinese syndicate led by Shi Qian (Wataru Takasugi), they begin plotting an all-out war against Kyowakai.

Unification of Japan Movies

This series follows Renji Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya) and Yuto Tamura (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi), delinquents from Yokohama, as they receive the ceremonial sake cup of Kobe’s Kyowakai—the largest yakuza organization in Japan—and strive for the growth of the Kyowakai and the unification of Japan’s underworld. Originally launched as a straightforward yakuza drama, the series evolved with each release into a unique style that emphasizes the characters’ personalities, incorporating surreal comedy, parodies of anime, tokusatsu, and detective dramas, as well as social satire. Numerous spin-offs focusing on comedy and human drama have also been produced.
