Synopsis
Based on the Sega PlayStation 2 computer game "Yakuza". It's 88°F, and rising, in summertime Tokyo, and the cops, led by sardonic vet Makoto Date (Yutaka Matsushige), are complaining about the air-conditioning as they stake out an ongoing bank robbery by two jokers in balaclavas. The bank, however, is almost empty, and the Tojo gang's 10 million yen ($80,000) deposit has mysteriously disappeared from the vaults. Meanwhile, psycho yakuza Goro Majima (Goro Kishitani, in the pic's standout performance) decides to pay a visit on the gang led by Kazuma Kiryu (Kazuki Kitamura, personifying a hunky PlayStation hero). Kiryu has "gone solo," determined to track down the mother of cute tyke Haruka (Natsuo), who has some valuable knowledge that Majima would like to get his hands on. Also wandering around are: a young couple, Satoru (Shun Shioya) and his coin-obsessed g.f., Yui (Saeko), who have started holding up stores on a whim; and Park (Yoo Gong), a hitman sent by the South Korean government to kill the guy who stole the Tojo gang's petty cash.
