A teenage delinquent schoolgirl named Izumi Hoshi inherits her father's Yakuza clan.
Sailor Suit sounds like it could be a slapstick comedy but the film is way more serious than you'd think, and while there's of course some comedic elements we're given an honest portrayal of what it would be if a young school girl suddenly had to take control over a Yakuza clan. It's an early example of how a huge pop idol also became a massively popular actress, due to how singer Hiroko Yakushimaru plays the lead role.
Many cool scenes, a great balance between violence and Japanese quirkiness and a fantastic ride through 1980's Tokyo, Sailor Suit is a time capsule full of Yakuza satire.
Genre: Action/Romance
