Gendai Yakuza: Yotamono Jingi (Japanese: 現代やくざ 与太者仁義), also known as A Modern Yakuza: Humanity and Justice of the Outlaw, is a 1969 Japanese yakuza film directed by Yasuo Furuhata.[1][2][3][4] It is the second film in Gendai Yakuza, a series of yakuza films made in the late 1960s and 1970s.[5][6][7]
The film centers around three brothers, who are all born into poverty and raised in a slum. The eldest son, Kōichi, becomes a powerful gang leader, the second son, Gorō, is a lone wolf fighting on his own terms, and the third son, Tōru, is alive but lacks a purpose to guide his life. The world of Japanese organized crime soon drags all three brothers into a horrific struggle of hatred and revenge.[7][8]
