A notably gory manga by Hideo Yamamoto that was later adapted into a film by [[Takashi Miike]] (that spawned a sequel in the form of another movie and a prequel in the form of an anime). '''''Ichi the Killer''''' is set in the city of Shinjuku, specifically the red-light district Kabuki-cho, where [[Yakuza]] rule the streets. A band of hoodlums lead by an enigmatic old man referred to only as Jijii ("Old guy") hopes to change that.
The story starts with the extremely gruesome murder of Anjou, the leader of a powerful clan of Yakuza known collectively as ''Anjougumi,'' or "the Anjou Clan" in English. The culprit, according to Jijii when he and his group arrives to clean up the mess, is the titular Ichi. The rest of his group are very off-put by the gore, wondering what kind of monster Ichi must be. They clean up the room and empty the safe which contained approximately 300,000,000 yen (about $2,600,000).
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
Eventually, most everyone on both sides of the coin have been killed save for Ichi, Jijii, and Kakihara, all ready for their final showdown. The ending of ''Ichi the Killer'' differs a bit in the manga and film versions of the story, with only the result of the fight between Ichi and Kakihara being the same.
