Synopsis
Legendary post-war Tokyo assassin disguised as 500-yen ramen vendor may have passed down deadly craft.
Since the end of World War II, rumors of a mysterious assassin that even the Yakuza are afraid of, have long struck fear throughout Tokyo's underworld. According to legend, this assassin moonlights as a Ramen street vendor, and is willing to take out his targets for the super low fee of 500 yen—the price of a bowl of his legendary "Tenchuu Ramen." With the war being so long ago though, could it just be an old legend, or has this assassin passed down his art to a younger generation...? (Source: MU)
