About True Account: Chivalrous Soul
After completing his journey of self-discovery through Osaka and Kyushu, Ryū Shimaoka (played by Yasukaze Motomiya) returns to his hometown of Awaji as a fully-fledged yakuza. With the backing of Hosono, a senior member of the Yamagami-gumi, Shimaoka and his youthful comrades form the Kyōkotsukai and align themselves with the powerful Okada-gumi, which controls the island. As Shimaoka rises rapidly through the ranks, tensions flare when the rival Kurosaki-gumi brings in a dangerous outsider from Kobe, shattering the fragile peace that once divided the island. This is the gripping story of a man born and raised in Awaji, who walks the path of the yakuza to protect his home, and the turbulent life he leads!
Directed by Katsuji Kanazawa, True Account: Chivalrous Soul leans on a strong ensemble — Yasukaze Motomiya, Eisaku Shindo, Teppei Shibuya — 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 screen titles of 2011.
