- Synopsis
- The boss of the Anjo clan has disappeared, and his crazy masochistic subordinate Kakihara is desperately searching for clues. His suspicions centre on the mysterious Ichi, the rubber-suited killer who is responsible for the enthusiastic slaughter of an increasing number of yakuza. This gonzo gangland epic based on a popular manga stars Japanese indie superstar Tadanobu Asano as an albino yakuza terrorizing Tokyo’s gangster population with methods so radical they make even his street-hardened colleagues blanch.
