Plots(1)
Welcome to a world where violence is virtue and depravity a way of life. It is the underside of Shinjuku, and the home of Kakihara, a sadistic yakuza killer. The mastermind Jijii is an ex-cop bent on turning the gangsters of Japan against each other. His trump card is a physically powerful lunatic always on the verge of snapping. This madman is Ichi the Killer, and between him and Kakihara, the streets will bleed. (official distributor synopsis)
