Jingi 5

Yoshiro Yazaki (Toshihiko Sakakibara), who is loved by Misato (Chikako Aoyama), the daughter of Iwami (Akira Nakao), a director of the Kanto Ichienkai, was forced into a difficult position between the Sumida River Association and Iwami. Hitoshi Kamibayashi (Riki Takeuchi), acting leader of the sand group, is approached by Iwami and is ordered to push Iwami in the next presidential election. However, Iwami is demoted by the presidential election due to the strategy of Sunagawa, the parent of Hitoshi. The furious Iwami immediately awakened the Iwami group and declared a full-scale war to the Kanto Ichienkai.

Directed by Masahisa Sadanaga, Jingi 5 leans on a strong ensemble — Riki Takeuchi, Toshihiko Sakakibara, Chikako Aoyama — 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 1995.
