Kaneko's Commissary

Kaneko, imprisoned for violence, was a man who would get angry even at his wife if she came to visit. It was the power of family - his wife, child, and uncle - that led this good-for-nothing to start a new life. Kaneko now runs a commissary that provides items to people imprisoned like he once was and visits them on behalf of their families. However, the peace is shattered when a young girl, his son’s friend, is found dead.

Directed by Go Furukawa, Kaneko's Commissary leans on a strong ensemble — Ryuhei Maruyama, Yoko Maki, Kira Miura — 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 drama titles of 2025.
