■ About Nihontouitsu
“We’re unifying the yakuza for one reason—to rid Japan of conflict.”
Launched on August 25, 2013, Nihontouitsu is a crime saga that follows two delinquents, Renji Himuro (played by Yasukaze Motomiya) and Yuto Tamura (played by Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi), on their climb to the top of Japan’s criminal underworld. These young men embody the yakuza moral code: protect the weak, crush the mighty.
Spin-offs starring fan-favorite characters and touches of comedy have propelled the series to popularity. With Himuro and Tamura leading the charge, the Kyowa Clan makes its move to become the leading force in Japan’s underworld.
Nihontouitsu is a renowned franchise with over 90 installments. Neither a simple TV show nor a film series, it represents a bold new form of visual entertainment.
“The burning convictions of men will reshape the yakuza.”
