Anyone lucky enough to be a regular viewer of Japanese television may be familiar with Assassination Classroom helmer Hasumi Eiichiro‘s most recent offering in both seasons of last year’s multi-TBS and WOWOW network hard-boiled cop series, Mozu – Mozu no Sakebu Yoru and Mozu – Maboroshi no Tsubasa. The show is based on Osaka Go’s 1986 novel work with a script by Nishi Kosuke and has since spawned into the forthcoming film, Mozu, with all the intensity and thrills imaginable centered on a trio of lawmen dealing with all sorts of espionage, violence, betrayal, vengeance and explosive action!
Set six months after Naotake (Hidetoshi Nishijima) learned the truth behind his wife’s death. Naotake works for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau, but feels worn out. Ryota (Teruyuki Kagawa) quit the police force due to his distrust of the department and now runs a private detective office.
An occupation and explosion case takes place simultaneously with an embassy attack. The attacks are orchestrated by crime planner Takayanagi (Yusuke Iseya) and assassin Gondo (Tori Matsuzaka) under the name of mysterious figure Daruma (Takeshi Kitano).
