Yuichi Sato's energetic flick “City Hunter” is loud, explosive, and in your face. Yet, it knows that, embracing it in a wildly entertaining experience. While many recent Netflix manga/anime adaptations have missed the mark, this movie does Tsukasa Hojo's source material justice, while taking a few creative liberties to tweak aspects for a modern audience. The film has garnered a positive reception from longtime fans of the “City Hunter” franchise, as well as newcomers, being highlighted as the definitive live-action adaptation next to the French version “Nicky Larson et le parfum de Cupidon” by Philippe Lacheau. It is funny to consider it took this long for Japan to adapt Hojo's work for non-animated media, with many prior renditions primarily coming from Hong Kong, the most famous being Wong Jing's “City Hunter” starring Jackie Chan.

[This story contains spoilers from the season two finale of Tokyo Vice.]
Many heroes brought down ruthless yakuza crime lord Shinzo Tozawa (Ayumi Tanida) in the season two finale of Tokyo Vice.
But for many faithful fans of the Japan-set and American-produced crime drama on Max, watching Akiro Sato (played by Show Kasamatsu), the young resilient yakuza member of the Chihara-Kai clan, deliver proof of Tozawa’s treachery to the oyabuns of various clans was a greatly satisfying ending to the 10 episodes that have been soaked with violence, honor, dishonor, loyalty and betrayal.
And of all the yakuza portrayed in the series about the Japanese organized crime world, Sato was the one member who sought quiet and peace, in his own way.
Tokyo Vice fandom pages indicate that Kasamatsu’s portrayal of Sato leaps off of the screen, similar to the series’ main star Ansel Elgort, who plays real-life American journalist Jake Adelstein, who moved to Japan in the ‘90s...

The search for truth comes with its own perils and high cost, but to what extent does that justify bending morality to one’s convenience? Facing mortal danger and concerns for his family as Jake Edelstein makes a final stand against the Yakuza boss Shinzo Tozawa, his actions raise questions like this. After thorough investigation for a prolonged period of time, Jake and the rest of his journalist team at Meicho Shimbun learned about Tozawa’s dealings with the FBI, which allowed for his violent takeover of Tokyo’s underworld since his return from the United States, and also for his liver transplant as well. Tozawa’s wife, Kazuko, whose family fortune was the reason for the Yakuza boss’ rise to power, became fed up with her husband’s illicit extramarital antics and constant negligence and decided to inform Detective Katagiri about the possible locations where the FBI documents might have been stored.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Tokyo Vice” Season 2, Episode 10, “Endgame.”]
In “Tokyo Vice,” honor is a double-edged katana. On one end sits Ozaki (Bokuzō Masana), the Meicho Shimbun newspaper executive who confesses to Emi (Rinko Kikuchi) that he was the one who destroyed the Yoshino videotape — although “confesses” is too generous a word. Ozaki solves her season-long mystery without batting an eye, before mansplaining his action as if Emi is an idiot. He had to destroy the tape. If the Meicho ran a story about a government official’s involvement in the murder of a hostess, then the paper would be frozen out of government business for years. “And how would that serve our readers?” he asks. So now that Emi has brought him further evidence against prime-minister-in-waiting Jotaro Shigematsu (Hajime Inoue), proving his ties to Yakuza leader Shinzo Tozama (Ayumi Tanida), the dignified thing to do is turn over her documents to the proper parties,...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of “Tokyo Vice,” now streaming on Max.
Season 2 of “Tokyo Vice,” the neo-noir crime drama set in Tokyo, Japan, and loosely based on a memoir written by journalist Jake Adelstein, has come to a close in an explosive finale that both sent off the series’ main, two-season running antagonist — and laid the foundation for what could potentially come from the Max thriller if a third season were to be greenlit.
The show stars Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe, and tells the story of a Japanese-fluent American writer (Elgort) who works his way into covering crime for one of Tokyo’s most prominent newspapers. In the process, he forges an unlikely bond with a dogged local police detective, Hiroto Katagiri (Watanabe), with the duo sharing information and working together to untangle sordid yakuza activities.

In the previous episode of Tokyo Vice, season 2, Ishida took his last breath after getting fatally shot by two assassins. Tozawa became a suspect, but he voluntarily showed up at the Tokyo Pd and showed Detective Nagata a photo of him with the other Yakuza members in a meeting during the time when Ishida’s murder took place. Samantha, however, confided in Jake, telling him about the assassins with red-eyed tattoos on their wrists. Jake did some digging and informed Katagiri about the tattoos. Jake faced a troubling situation at his office when Eimi allowed Kurihara to publish an article on Samantha, accusing her of Ishida’s murder. Jake took a few days off and flew back home to Missouri.

One of the strongest pillars of the Chihara-kai group has fallen in the previous episode of Tokyo Vice season 2, a continuation of the HBO Max series, after Ishida was shot to death by an unknown assassin in the club Polina. The Chihara-kai gang, a significant part of the Yakuza, is a feared group of criminals led by Koichi Tanaka, whose right-hand man was Hitoshi Ishida. Hitoshi Ishida worked as the de facto leader of this group and made a huge number of enemies within the organization because of his strong principles that set him apart from the other members. However, after his tragic death in episode 6, a void is created in the gang, which can only be filled if Sato takes up the leadership, but it would be a bumpy ride for Sato as there are many obstacles on his path.
