Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Harada spent months researching actual yakuza operations; the film's procedural authenticity disturbed some Japanese critics who found it too sympathetic.
MIYAVI's casting as Toake was deliberate — his real-life rock persona as a rebellious outsider mirrored the character's liminal status between organizations.
