The "Unification of Japan" series, a popular yakuza drama beloved by audiences of all ages. Launched in 2013 as a so-called "yakuza V-cinema" series, it became a massive hit through streaming and has since expanded its universe into theatrical films and TV series.
With over 90 titles across the main series and spin-offs, the "Taiga Ninkyo" franchise is huge!
The excitement is building as the fourth theatrical film is set to premiere in the summer of 2026!
And now, this book-entirely dedicated to "Japan Unification"-has finally been published. Featuring newly shot photo spreads and in-depth interviews with the dual leads, Yasukaze Motomiya and Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi, as well as episode-by-episode commentary, character profiles, and the history of turf wars set across Japan, this book delves deeply into the epic yakuza series.
The book is edited by Miyako Takatori of Rittosha, who sparked the Reiwa-era "Hissatsu" movement with her four-part oral history series on the Hissatsu franchise. Takatori, who also has deep knowledge of V-cinema, conducted in-depth interviews not only with Motomiya and Yamaguchi but also with director Hiroyuki Tsuji and a total of 12 staff members, revealing one after another the little-known behind-the-scenes stories of the Taiga Ninkyo series.
Furthermore, the book features a survey of nine cast members from the Yamazaki faction, along with a wealth of behind-the-scenes photos and illustrations. Renji Himuro x Yuto Tamura... This is the definitive guide and ultimate fanbook chronicling the journey of the "strongest duo" aiming to unify Japan!
