Shibai Taroka

There is a new student at Oobu High School. His name is Yakuda Daigo. With his buff body and a tough-looking face that can make everyone run, soon rumors spread about him. Some say he's a gang leader, others say he is involved with Yakuza business, still more say he rapes, steals, and likes beating people. There are only a handful of people who know who Yakuda really is, including Manami-a. She is a girl Yakuda fell in love with. Yakuda loves to cook and he likes cute things. He also enjoys gardening, crafting and adores pets. He is a very caring person. He always carries around a cute sewing kit and a cute first-aid kit around. However, with many unfortunate events, he often gets involved with a gang fight or a criminal, along with other coincidental things that happens around him. People always assume the worse for him.

Directed by Teruo Kogure, Shibai Taroka leans on a strong ensemble — Kazuhiko Kanayama, Yuka Inokuchi, Koyuki Fuji — 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 action titles of 1993.
