Shaku Yumiko Is Back For Vengeance In The Latest Teaser For KIRI: PROFESSIONAL KILLER
Legendary action auteur Sakamoto Koichi (Travelers, Red X Pink a.k.a. Girl’s Blood) knows what his fans love, and that statement is no less true than for his Tokusatsu following with a cast that is sure to get their attention. For this we look at actress Shaku Yumiko in her latest return to the action fray in fourteen years in the new assassin thriller, Kiri: Professional Killer, based on Hakusensha’s Young Animal Arashi publication from the work of manga author, Nishikawa Hideaki.
‘Killers’ is an illegal website for contract murders that conducts reverse auctions. In these auctions it is the lowest bidder who wins the murder contract. However, the contracted killers must follow a strict set of rules that have been decided upon by the website. Secretly keeping tabs on these killers-for-hire is Kiri, a woman raised from youth to be an assassin. Kiri monitors the website in the hope that she will locate an assassin whom she seeks revenge on.
One day, a contract is offered on the website. However, the killer who wins the bid violates the rules by slaughtering people not targeted in the contract. Worse, the bodies he leaves behind have had their eyes viciously gouged out, which is exactly the kind of modus operandi Kiri has been on the lookout for. Could this be the killer she has been pursuing?
