Kou Maehara

Takada (Matsuda Ryuhei) is the perpetually tired but loyal driver and karate-proficient companion of an unnamed hard-boiled private detective (played by Oizumi Yo) – a university dropout who has a reputation for taking up cases the police won’t touch.

One day, Takada receives a request to find a missing woman, and he and the detective agree to take the case. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious, seedy business owned by Mari Misaki (Keiko Kitagawa) – and with dark, underworld connections.

Mari Misaki and the detective have crossed paths before, but she has now become the lover of a gangland chief named Jinya Kitashiro (Lily Franky), ostensibly a local business leader. She appears to retain feelings for the detective, but is all as it seems?

Soon, gangland thugs are on the detective and Takada’s trail – while the crime-busting duo tries to get to bottom of the ever-more-unorthodox missing persons case.

This film is the third and final movie based on the “Susukino Detective” series of books by the novelist Naomi Azuma, and was the second sequel to “Phone Call to the Bar.”

“The Last Shot in the Bar” is a 2011 Japanese crime movie that was directed by Teruyuki Yoshida.

The Last Shot in the Bar

A new first-year college student named Yukina Toriyama (Tao Tsuchiya) has just landed a place at a science university. But when she arrives, she is horrified to discover that most of her schoolmates are utter nerds.

The one exception to the rule is a handsome senior student named Kei (Mahiro Takasugi). Utterly bewitched by his charms, Yukina Toriyama almost unknowingly agrees when Kei asks her to joins the nerdiest club in the school: the “human-powered flight” club.

Believing that doing so will bring her closer to Kei, she decides to volunteer for the role of pilot for the club’s most hair-brained plan yet: To enter the Birdman Rally contest to fly in a human-powered craft across Lake Biwa.

But to do so, she will need to fend off competition from star cyclist Sakaba (Shotaro Mamiya) – a man intent on making the pilot’s role his own!

“Tori Girl” is a 2017 Japanese comedy movie that was directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa.
