Yanki (Japanese delinquent) Hayato, is on his way with his senpai, (upperclassman) Yocchan to a so-called “resort” job with good pay, food, and housing. Hayato, not being able to commit to work, meets another Yanki who’s trying to work hard and form a family. Meanwhile, Yocchan ends up falling for the lunch lady at the “resort”... Will she be the one for him?
Acting
Kubota's barely-contained panic is accidentally brilliant.
Production
"Resort" looks suspiciously like a converted parking garage.
Director
Hajime Gonno
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
GachiBan films are direct-to-DVD staples in Japan, churned out for the still-thriving yanki subculture that mainstream cinema ignores.
The 'resort job' scam mirrors real 2010s exploitative labor practices targeting rural youth, making this accidentally political.
