Kokuho

In Nagasaki, 1964, after the passing of his yakuza father, 15-year-old Kikuo is mentored by a renowned kabuki performer. Under the guidance of the acclaimed actor, he partners with Shunsuke, the actor’s only son, and together they commit themselves to mastering the centuries-old tradition of kabuki theatre. Over the course of several decades, the two young men develop and transform alongside each other, with one ultimately rising to become Japan’s foremost kabuki master.
