Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The fourth head of the Masashimizu group suddenly died. It was good until his adopted son Haruhiko Ayanokoji, a lawyer, succeeded him, but the gang consisted of only three odd people. Depicts the struggle of Haruhiko, who wears two pairs of straw sandals, a boss and a lawyer. A unique court yakuza story starring Masao Kusakari.
