Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The King of Minami franchise spans 25+ films based on Tsukasa Yōji's manga, making it one of Japan's longest-running direct-to-video series. It's basically the Fast & Furious of Osaka gangsterdom.
Junior Chihara started this role at age 26 and was pushing 50 here. The man has been pretending to rule Minami longer than most actual Osaka businessmen.
