The Story
JAKOMAN AND TETSU (1964) is an early action masterpiece from Kinji Fukasaku (BATTLE ROYALE), adapted from a script written by the legendary Akira Kurosawa. Set in 1947 in a small coastal village among the majestic snowy landscapes of Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido, Ken Takakura (ABASHIRI PRISON) is Tetsu, the prodigal son who returns from the war to help out his father Kyubei with the family herring fishing business. His arrival coincides with that of a one-eyed miscreant named Jakoman, played by Tetsuro Tamba (HARAKIRI, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE), who bears a long-standing grudge against Kyubei and is intent on causing as much mayhem among the hordes of seasonal fishermen as possible.
