Hideyuki Katsuki

Recommended comments

The performances of lead actor Shinya Owada and Takato Hosoi, who portrays a psychopathic character, are a key highlight of the film. Azuma’s eyes convey a deep, unsettling darkness, while Yuichiro’s gaze appears strikingly empty. Both deliver powerful performances that leave a strong impression.
