Synopsis
Ex-biker lawyer Kenji creates elite class to send five "stupid school" students to prestigious Toudai University.
Kenji Sakuragi is a poor lawyer and ex-motorcycle gang member looking for an opportunity to boost his career.

There, he sets up a special class that aims to prepare five students to take and pass the entrance exam of Toudai. (Source: Wikipedia)
