A Yakuza enforcer's pain-obsessed right-hand man, searching for his missing boss, crosses paths with a psychotic murderer.

ABSTRACT
Kakihara, loyal protege of Yakuza don Anjo harboring a fetish for his boss's sadistic methods of abuse, heads out on a journey to find the man when he disappears without a trace one day. Possessing a take-no-prisoners approach towards his hunt, blond-haired Kakihara puts various suspects through increasingly hideous methods of torture, ultimately crossing paths with a feared psychotic killer by the name of Ichi who may very well serve as a substitute for Anjo after learning of his existence through a Hong Kong hostess.
