In 1970s-era Japan, three children, Kazuma Kiryu, Akira Nishikiyama, and his younger sister, Yuko Nishikiyama, are raised together in Shintaro Kazama's Sunflower Orphanage. In the summer of 1980, Yumi Sawamura, a young girl whose parents were accidentally shot and killed during a gang's shootout, joins them in the orphanage. Following a yakuza tradition, the honorable Kazama secretly raises orphans whose parents he has directly or indirectly killed. In return, the children love him as a father and he eventually inducts the teenage Kiryu and Nishikiyama into the Dojima Family, a Tojo Clan affiliate of which he is a senior officer.

Anyone that’s played yakuza needs to watch this. Like you have to. It’s paramount. Should be enforced by law. Then when you watch it you have to rate it 5 stars, because that’s what it’s worth.

This was actually shot on the MiniDV camera my high school had back in 2005
WHY DOES THIS END WITH A GAME TRAILER IF IT’S THE PROLOGUE TO THE TAKASHI MIIKE MOVIE
