Pipparan!!
25 years ago, the Nagiri Brothers—once feared nationwide—lost their family’s backbone when their father, Tsuyoshi Nagiri (played by Kim Sunjin), was suddenly assassinated. “Even as yakuza, we never strayed from the path of humanity. Everyone in the Nagiri family is our comrade,” were the words their father left behind. Carrying on his will, the second son, Kaname Nagiri (Choi Chul-ho), took over the Nagiri-gumi.

When their youngest brother Minato (Seiji Fukushi), a respected figure in Osaka, falls into danger, the eldest, Shun Nagiri (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi), steps in to save him. The brothers reunite and head to Kaname’s side—just as he’s about to clash with their former allies…
