Cromartie
High
School
Even though Tak does not
have a large role in this movie, I got it because it was
directed by his friend Yudai
Yamaguchi. He also directed
Battlefield Baseball, and I enjoyed the humor in that, so I
figured it couldn't hurt. It is about a high school so bad, that
it has been destroyed 6 times (and counting) since its founding
in 1923, and is populated entirely by gangsters. The movie
follows Takashi Kamiyama, an otherwise normal, intelligent young
man, who enrolls in it. Why? Because back in junior high, when
he was bullied by a group of kids, Yamamoto (Tak's character)
came to his rescue, complete with sunglasses and the traditional
Japanese gangster quasi-mohawk hairstyle (damn do I hate it).
They've been best friends ever since.
When it came time to
graduate, Yamamoto didn't think he could get into any high
school with his bad grades and made plans to save up money to
become a street vendor. Kamiyama didn't want to go to school
without his best friend, and suggested Yamamoto try out for
Cromartie High, where all you had to know in order to get in is
how to subtract. Kamiyama passed, Yamamoto didn't. Well damn. =/
It is noteworthy to
mention that Kamiyama is played by Takamasa
Suga, the cute monk from Death Trance, and one of Kamiyama's
new friends is played by Mitsuki
Koga, the knife throwy ninja from Shinobi whom I dislike for
killing Tak's character Yashamaru.
