Family Bonds (2014)

Ryuuzaki (Ryudo Uzaki), a former ace pitcher for a Yokohama pro baseball team, was forced into retirement after a yakuza-linked game-fixing scandal and left the city behind. Fifteen years later, he returns upon learning that his estranged daughter and grandson have been murdered—both shot dead after witnessing a hitman at a crime scene. Consumed by grief and rage, Ryuuzaki vows revenge. Seeking help through old connections, he receives firearms training from Saigami (Hitoshi Ozawa), a former yakuza. As Ryuuzaki arms himself for violence, the hollow fire in his heart is reignited. A bleak tale of vengeance, solitude, and sorrow—told through the quiet, heavy presence of Ryudo Uzaki.
