Kyo kara Hitman Blu-ray BOX

Masaki Aiba explores new territory through a double life as office worker and hitman. An ordinary salaryman suddenly becomes an assassin in an action-comedy drama unlike anything seen before.

Tokichi Inaba, a skilled food-company salesman played by Aiba, lives happily with wife Misako, played by Yuika Motokariya, and son Momota, played by Yura Kimura. On a day off, boss Tamotsu Endo, played by Masanobu Katsumura, makes him clean up a mistake by subordinate Teruhisa Yamamoto, played by Tatsuya Fukazawa. Reluctantly, he visits the angry client.

The sales ace resolves the crisis, but on his way home runs over someone who suddenly leaps in front of his car. The man is a member of an evil organization who was exchanging gunfire with Nicho, played by Kenichi Takito, a hitman belonging to the illegal organization Convenience Store. Nicho is badly wounded but finishes off another member.

Nicho climbs into Tokichi's passenger seat, reveals the real target's location and orders Tokichi to kill that person and rescue Nicho's imprisoned girlfriend Chinatsu, played by Maika Yamamoto. When Tokichi resists, Nicho calls Convenience Store and asks them to kill Tokichi and his entire family if the target is not dead and his woman is not saved that day.

Nicho entrusts his gun to Tokichi and deliriously recites the principles of a hitman. Tokichi considers going to the police, but, determined to keep his family out of danger, heads toward the target.

All eight episodes are included, together with a making-of collection packed with previously unseen footage, both parts of a special cast discussion and TELASA's original spin-off Kyo kara Lovely Man. The cast also features Chikara Honda, Kiita Komagine, Toshio Kakei and Hitoshi Ozawa. Contents and specifications may change.

The set contains two main Blu-rays with 379minutes, a bonus Blu-ray with 120minutes and a 32-page deluxe booklet. Japanese Linear PCM 2-channel stereo audio is provided; Japanese subtitles for the hearing impaired accompany the main episodes.
