Synopsis
There used to be a guy called the mahjong player of legend. His name is Akagi Shigeru. A young, white-haired mahjong genius. He demonstrated this remarkable talent in the first mahjong game he played by defeating the yakuza’s representative player. Even after that, he kept on winning against formidable opponents and shook up the underworld. He became a legend at a young age. One summer in 1965, Akagi ends up facing off against Washizu Iwao, Japan’s King of Darkness who has amassed enormous fortune and power, at the request of his acquaintance, the rogue detective Yasuoka. As the observer, Ogi Takeshi, Inada-gumi’s second-in-command watches over them, mahjong with special rules called Washizu Mahjong begins. It is a life or death struggle with Akagi’s fresh blood and Washizu’s entire fortune at stake.
