FUDOH: THE NEW GENERATION

Riki Fudoh (Shosuke Tanihara) is a high school student leading a secret life as an underworld boss. As the leader of a group of larger-than-life, school-age assassins, Fudoh wages a campaign of violence against the entire criminal underworld as revenge against his Yakuza father who murdered Fudoh’s brother. Originally intended for V-cinema release, this film secured a theatrical run and became a festival favorite, cementing Miike's reputation.

AGITATOR

A yakuza (with a cameo by Miike himself) is murdered after assaulting a hostess on rival turf, triggering a gang war among various factions seeking power redistribution. This densely-layered drama juxtaposes the backroom maneuvering of senior yakuza figures, overseen by Mr. Kaito, against the actions of street-level mobsters leading to an inevitable collision. Miike directed this film in 2001, alongside other major releases like Ichi the Killer.
