日本やくざ抗争史 絶縁 第一章 poster
Movie

Tatsunobu Sagara (Kazuyoshi Ozawa), a wakagashira (underboss) of the Natsume-gumi, was expanding his influence by leveraging the reputation of Mitsuru Gono (Shiro), wakagashira of the Tanba-gumi. Meanwhile, Daisuke Kanamori (Hideyuki Kawahara), also of the Tanba-gumi, was aggressively encroaching upon business territories monopolized by the Natsume-gumi. Although Gono and Kanamori were both formidable figures renowned in the yakuza underworld, their mutual animosity had brought the organization to the brink of an internal feud. Tanba-gumi boss Fujio Yamadai (Hakuryu) ordered the organization's number two, Kenzo Ushikubo (Hitoshi Ozawa), to keep a close watch on them; however, even he could not curb the escalating friction between these men, each driven by fierce yakuza ambition... Starring Hakuryu and Hitoshi Ozawa alongside a cast of today's most intense actors, the first chapter of this saga chronicling the history of Japanese yakuza turf wars begins now.

Movie

Fumio Yamadai (Hakuryu), the third-generation boss of the Tanba-gumi, has built the organization into the largest and most powerful in Japan. Sagara (Kazuyoshi Ozawa) of the Natsume-ikka—a family under the Tanba-gumi umbrella—expands his influence by leveraging the authority of Gono (Shiro), a Tanba-gumi senior lieutenant and boss of the Gono-gumi. This leads to a conflict with Kanamori, another senior lieutenant of the Tanba-gumi. Eventually, Gono’s power grows to the point where he threatens the Tanba-gumi itself, sparking friction with the organization's underboss, Ushikubo (Hitoshi Ozawa). This situation escalates into the most significant expulsion incident in the history of the yakuza underworld. Chapter Two of the saga—starring Hitoshi Ozawa and Hakuryu—depicts a conflict that shook the very foundations of the Japanese yakuza.
