About Tokyo Cabbageman K
A young man wakes up one morning to find that his head has transformed into a large cabbage. He quickly becomes a source of bemusement, desire and hostility to all those around him.
Directed by Akira Ogata, Tokyo Cabbageman K leans on a strong ensemble — Katsuro Onoue, Kazushi Hosaka, Shigeru Muroi — 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 comedy titles of 1980.
