An action drama that depicts the history of the fierce gang conflicts of the Higashi-gumi—renowned nationwide as an ultra–combat-oriented syndicate—brought to life with a star-studded cast including Hakuryu and Hideo Nakano. In the brutal battleground of Osaka, the Higashi-gumi managed to remain independent and avoid submission to any larger syndicate. Their survival was owed entirely to the overwhelming charisma of the boss and his younger brother. Set in Nishinari—known as the “Mecca of Osaka’s yakuza”—this true-crime yakuza epic portrays the rise of the ultra-combat-oriented Higashi-gumi, a syndicate that maintained its independence without ever bowing to any major organization. With overwhelming charisma, the Higashi-gumi boss, Higashi Kiyoshi, and his younger brother Isamu carve out their own dominant presence in Osaka through their extreme, unapologetic brutality.

A young yakuza experiences various conflicts, tactics, betrayals, rules, etc. in the gangster world, stands out in the organization, and climbs to the top of the organization. The theatrical version of the popular video series adapted from the original work by Murakami Kazuhiko.

Ryuji Hoshikawa (played by Ken'ichi Endô), the leader of the Hoshikawa group and an executive of the Saito group, a branch of the Asahikawa Sekine Association, grew increasingly distrustful of the group's leader, Shigezo Saito (played by Johnny Okura), after being removed from his role as acting head of the Saito group. As a result, he abandoned his parent organization and his family, ultimately accepting the ceremonial sake cup from Tetsuya Kishimori (played by Kentaro Shimizu), the leader of the Kishimori group, which belongs to the massive Kinjokai organization based in the Kanto region.
