After the end of the Pacific War, the first order given by GHQ when they occupied Japan was to disband the “ninja” organizations. It seemed as if all ninjas had disappeared, but they were hiding in various organizations around the world and were still operating in the present day. It is said that there are about 200,000 of them. Kumogakure Kuro (Genin), a low-ranking ninja belonging to the ninja organization “NIN”. One day, while he had a lot of free time, he was given an important “ninja mission”. It was to investigate the movements of a certain organization that has been underground for over 70 years since the end of the war. The name is “Under Ninja”. Ninjutsu, strategy, and the latest technology. An unprecedented battle that makes full use of everything is about to begin!!
Coming January 24 in the new year, Yamazaki stars along with Minami Hamabe, from a script he wrote based on Kengo Hanazawa’s hit manga series. Toho is out with a pair of characer posters and a first official teaser that delivers in only the way the man who directed the live-action Gintama films could. Take a look!
