Ten Tenhodori no Kaidanji

Igawa Hiroyuki (Furukawa Yuki) is well-versed in mahjong and makes a killing from novice opponents at a mahjong parlour. One day, he meets Ten Takashi (Kishitani Goro) who runs a mahjong contracting business, in other words a pinch hitter. Ten is unrivalled in his ability to win and his strong will. Hiroyuki admires him, and gets immersed in the world of mahjong. The two of them soon encounter Akagi Shigeru (Yoshida Eisaku), the legendary mahjong player, and Harada Katsumi (Matoba Koji), currently one of Kansai’s strongest mahjong players, as they battle it out to determine who is the top of Japan’s mahjong underworld.
