Yakuza Princess

In Brazil, Akemi learns she stands to inherit the Yakuza empire, turning her life into a high-stakes maze of danger. As she grapples with new power and old loyalties, a protector named Shirô who has shielded her suddenly becomes a person of suspicion. The relationship between them blurs as betrayals unfold and the criminal world suddenly closes in. The story threads a tense chase through fashionably polished streets, illegal reach, and hidden agendas, keeping the viewer on edge without tipping into familiar cliches. The danger intensifies as family ties, identity, and violence collide, leaving Akemi to decide where her true allegiance lies. The visuals mix neon nights with rain slick streets and a haunting score that lingers after the credits.

Directed by Vicente Amorim, Yakuza Princess adapts Danilo Beyruth's graphic novel with a screenplay by Fernando Toste and Tubaldini Shelling, featuring Masumi as Akemi and Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Shirô, blending Brazilian locales with crime aesthetics for international audiences worldwide.
