About

Onimasa is the egocentric boss of a small yakuza clan on Shikoku Island, whose criminal duties conflict with his self-image as a chivalrous samurai. His struggles with his boss, the Shikoku Godfather, and the tumultuous life of his adopted daughter, Matsue, form the backdrop of this epic tale of justice, obedience, and bloody vengeance.
Tatsuya Nakadai commands the screen with a terrifying blend of aristocratic pride and ruthless underworld instinct. This sprawling epic captures the friction between ancient samurai honor and the cold reality of modern yakuza politics.
