[edit] Synopsis

After a mob boss is killed in a strange and grusome gang hit, his sadist follower investigates killing and torturing his way through Japan to find who killed his boss. Unbeknownst to him, the killer is the most unlikely of persons; a whimpering child-like man, haunted by memories of a schoolmates rape years before. Manipulated by a rival mob, they whip him into a vengeful fury, getting him to kill those in thier way, as his alter ego Ichi. (Named so after the big yellow one on his leather costume, Ichi being Japanese for One)
