Like a Dragon: Yakuza Show Summary

This crime action drama plunges into the dark underworld of the yakuza. The universal theme of 'parents and children' is explored not only through blood relationships but also through ties between Yakuza bosses and their underlings, orphans and their caretakers, and mentors and students - at times marked by deep affection, at other times by intense conflict - all intricately intertwined.
