Kenzo was determined to become cool, but he was exposed as the culprit of the boss's murder, and he was killed. To clear the name of his brother Kenzo, Shigeru, with the support of his girlfriend Asako, sets out to find out the truth. A combination yakuza-youth action with heavy romantic overtones.
