About Kabuking Z: The Movie
This battle action film stars Ichiban Ujigami of the unique rock band "Kabuki Rocks," who perform in costumes inspired by Kabuki. The Ujigami clan has been engaged in fierce battles with the evil Kagerou clan since ancient times. Kabuking Z, a hero of justice and a descendant of the clan, spends his days fighting alongside his younger brother, Yaruking. Eventually, their battle escalates into a major war that involves a mysterious vigilante group and Kabuking Z's younger brother, Yutaro.
Directed by Jun'ichi Yamamoto, Kabuking Z: The Movie leans on a strong ensemble — Ichiban Ujigami, Yuri Morishita, Ichiro Yatsui — 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 2008.
