About Onihei Gaiden: The Night Rabbit
Bandit leader "Night Rabbit" Kakuemon has always kept the rule to "never kill, never rape, never steal from the poor", passed down to him by the gang's previous leader. He has never been arrested, and for that, he always thought he would have a peaceful death. But one day, after talking to a young one-armed homeless girl, he decides to break up his gang and turn himself in.
Directed by Akira Inoue, Onihei Gaiden: The Night Rabbit leans on a strong ensemble — Baijaku Nakamura, Atsuo Nakamura, Renji Ishibashi — 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 2011.
