About Yakuza Ambition
In a yakuza world where brute force is no longer enough, the fearsome Igarashi-gumi faces a turning point. All eyes are on two successors: the hardline enforcer Samejima (Riki Takeuchi) and the young boss Segawa (Hiroshi Fuse). While the bedridden boss’s true wishes remain unclear, Segawa begins making secret moves behind the scenes. Greed and ambition ignite a bloody internal war over succession.
Directed by Takeshi Miyasaka, Yakuza Ambition leans on a strong ensemble — Riki Takeuchi, Hiroshi Fuse, Gô Ibusuki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2016.
