KINTARO
Why?!
It's only 8 bytes. Why can't I crack it?
{a6}Fight. 3 A Man's Fight It's only 8 bytes. Why can't I crack it?
Kin-chan! Kin-chan!
Kin-chan, Managing Director Kurokawa wants to see you.
Excuse me, sir.
Morning.
To remember me by.
It's beautiful, sir!
I caught it with the lure you gave me.
A little slow, but quite effective.
It's just right to be slow.
My 33 years as a salaryman ends today.
It's too bad I didn't get to know you better.
Take care.
You too sir.
Thank you.
Oh, it's Granny.
Finally, it's time for the board's regular meeting.
Good luck.
I want to see the Chairman of the Board.
It's about an employee here, Yajima Kintaro.
Do you have an appointment, sir?
No!
I'm sorry but you must have an appointment!
Let us see Yajima Kintaro.
What's that?
Gyotaku (fish print).
Gyotaku?
Mr. Kurokawai gave it to me.
Who's Yajima Kintaro?!
No wonder!
You don't look like the kind that thinks.
That man you beat up last night...
Do you know who he is?!
Wouldn't know.
He was Mita Zenkichi's grandson!
Who's he?
After Kurokawa resigns,
I'll make an urgency move to dismiss Chairman Yamato
and make a clean sweep.
Why do you frown?!
You were Yamato employees even before my arrival.
But I instituted personnel, changes...
and made you all executives.
Vote against my move to get rid of Yamato,
and I'll ruin all of your careers!
Call the police! i
Forget it! The cops won't touch us.
We'll wait here.
Until the board meeting's over.
Ever since the bubble economy burst,
Yamato survived even in these hard times..
due to Oshima's connections in business and politics.
Don't be ridiculous.
You're the one who built Yamato Construction from nothing.
What're you so scared of?
We both started out with nothing.
We had no home,
not even food.
All we had were our lives.
Imagine that innocent little girl
is now this old hag.
And that handsome young boy is a gray-haired, old coot.
Let's go outside.
We'll break the office.
It's been a long time since I snapped.
Snapped?!
I can't stand bastards like you!
You think you're so great.
We're not going to make it.
Mr. Tanaka!
I got the galley proof for the magazine article.
Really?
They got evidence?!
Mr. Yamato!
This story's being published next week.
About stocks bought by Oshima before he came here.
It amounts to insider dealing.
Now we're obtaining proof he used unaccounted-for funds.
Keep fighting, sir.
I appreciate the thought,
but don't meddle in this.
I guess fools like you really do exist.
I'm not fool enough to let you beat me up!
We now turn to the matter of Mr. Kurokawa's resignation.
It was his request.
There's no need for discussion.
So the resignation is accepted?
Next order of business...
One moment.
Before accepting Mr. Kurokawa's resignation,
as an urgency move, I call for the dismissal
of Executive Director Oshima.
What?
Maeda!
Maeda-san!
Quiet! I can't concentrate!
Let's see how well a salaryman can fight.
Bastard!
Kin - chan!
Stop it! Somebody help!
He's a fool.
Perhaps I heard wrong. Say that again.
Oshima...
You'll have to leave.
That's ridiculous!
Sir, for what reason?
It's the wish of Yamato employees.
I also make a motion...
to remove Board Chairman Yamato Ryunosuke.
Now, who will you vote for?!
I did it!
What a great fight.
Don't interfere in a man's fight!
Those in favor of dismissing Director Oshima, stand.
I believe I'm still a member of this board.
I'm in favor of dismissing Mr. Oshima.
Kaminaga..
Bastard, you're turning on me?!
I'm older than you!
Don't act so big!
Sir, please forgive me!
I was a big fool!
You fostered my growth as an employee.
But to gain things of lesser importance,
I've betrayed you until this very day!
My eyes have been opened now!
Please forgive me!
Thank you, Kaminaga.
Only three votes?
You're pretty good for a salaryman.
You took it good!
Fool! It ain't over yet!
Kurasawa! Tajima!
Did you forget what you owe me?!
What're you thinking of?!
How will you get public work contracts without me?!
That's your only way of doing things.
Yelling at people
and threatening them!
You mistreat those in more vulnerable positions.
You behave like a spoiled brat!
I guess the majority has spoken.
I'll see Yamato destroyed!
Keep fighting, Kintaro!
Stay down!
Stand up Kintaro!
Go Kintaro!
Look at this, Sir.
Here's where the unaccounted funds went!
It's indisputable proof of Oshima's crime!
As members of our organization,
you must never do such a thing.
Ever again.
Kill this article, too.
Oshima's damage to Yamato was great.
Let's stop it there.
Now we'll have to select the managing company president.
Go outside.
What about Director Oshima?
He was just dismissed.
We did it!
That's enough!?
This is awful.
It's all stuck.
Ryuta!
Granny!
Hello!
Is Kintaro at work?
He's flat on his back.
Is he ill?
I guess you could say that.
Cheers!
He sure is 'high'.
From lack of sleep?
Delicious!
Wonder if Kin-chan's okay?
He's barbaric! Brawling with a professional .
He should think more about the consequences.
That guy worked for Mita Zenkichi.
That could bring our company down!
What's wrong with you two?
Wasn't Kin - chan fighting to help us?!
Sure but...
His way is too barbaric.
Way out of line for a salaryman.
I don't agree.
Thanks to Kin - chan
I've begun to re - think my life as a salaryman.
I want to change the way I live.
What happened Mr. Maeda?
To Kintaro!
Papa! I took a bath!
It hurts!
Say...
Don't we have a flower vase?
A man's got to know how to fight
manly and cool!
Found one!
Don't ever be like your papa, Ryuta!
Brawling like that.. What if he gets fired?!
What do you mean?
You won't be able to collect rent from him.
Will you kick him out?
I'd let Kintaro stay for free?
Are you so concerned about Kintaro?
Not really.
What's that? Is that for Kintaro?
His room is drab.
I've got to fix a cold compress.
Big Sister's acting funny!
Could she be in love with your papa?
Hello!
Teacher, is there a problem with Ryuta?
No!
I came to visit Kintaro. He seems to be ill.
Ill?!
Mama!
Hello, Ryuta.
Hello.
Mama's here.
Teacher!
Please don't get up.
He's not sick! It was a fight!
With a professional.
Are you all right?
Please don't get up.
Pardon the mess.
Is that Ryu's mom?
Pretty, wasn't she?
Do you have a vase?
I'll take care of it.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Would she usually visit a parent?
Ryuta's not the one who's hurt.
Did you say something?
I found out, Mom!
What?
I know why Ryuta calls the teacher "Mama"!
She looks like his late mom, right?
You knew?!
When she saw the wife's photo, she said she was pretty!
The Jardin proprietress. Teacher..What strong rivals!
What will you do, Masuml?^
What are you talking about?
She even brought these flowers.
They're much prettier than yours!
Nobody asked your opinion!
Excuse me!
Another one!
Hello. Thank you for the last time.
Thank you. What can I do for you?
I came to see Kin - chan. Was he badly hurt?
How well you know!
I know everything about Kin-chan.
This'll be, good!
Aren't you lucky Ryuta?
Kin - chan! Are you all right?!
Thank you.
How terrible!
Oh sor-
Shouldn't you put on an ice pack?
Excuse me.
Welcome.
Thank you for the last time.
Same here.
This is for Kintaro's room.
I'd like to fix a cold compress.
It's all ready?
May I have some ice?
Go on.
Excuse me.
Mom...!
All the big shots go to Club Jardin.
She's the big attraction.
Kintaro's pretty smart.
Isn't she pushy?!
This is much prettier than yours!
Keep quiet!
800 yen a stem.
It's fine. I can do it myself.
So reckless, fighting with a professional.
You look really sexy today, though.
Ryuta's nursery school teacher
Thank you for being so kind to Ryuta.
Ryuta, have you been well?
I forgot...
Here, cake.
Thank you!
Want Big Sister to fix you some warm milk?
Teacher...
You resemble Kin - chan's late wife, don't you?
Really?
Men like certain kinds of women, don't they?
Do they?
It seems that way.
I fell for Kin - chan at first sight.
I've always hated to lose.
I fight harder when its tougher.
Thank you.
Kin - chan...?
You've got to keep your face cool.
I'll put this in the bathroom.
It hurts!
Kin - chan!
The new company president will be Mr. Kurokawa!
Really?!
That's great!
It'LL be tough, but Yamato will change.
Oh, sorry.
Kin - chan.
The Chairman wants to see you.
Mr. Yamato?
Now it's my turn to be kicked out.
Is it?
Kazue, It's been nice knowing you.
Mr. Maeda, thank you for everything.
Kin - chan...
If they kick you out, I'm going too.
Is this your own plan?
I heartily approve of your plans
for restructuring and trimming operations.
About next year's bay area project...
I assessed profit increases and reduced risks...
by taking on only management and not the actual work.
I'd be happy if you'd look at it, sir.
All right.
Thank you, sir. Excuse me.
Quite shrewd, isn't he?
Yes, but his talent could be quite useful to us.
Yajima...
You or me? Which would the company need more?
What do you think?
Who knows?
Excuse me.
It must've been some fight.
You picked some bad opponents.
Mita Zenkichi's grandson and henchman, of all people!
I'll accept the consequences, sir.
Resignation?!
This can't be solved by your resignation alone, anymore.
We've got to head for the battlefield now.
Battlefield?
Where our lives will be on the line.
Mita Zenkichi himself called.
He wants to see Mr. Yamato.
He wants me to bring you along.
So you can't resign now.
Mita Zenkichi is the big fixer...
that controls politics and business.
I've never met him, either. Come along.
You can't change your ways, can you?
Is that all right?
Please sit down.
I'm pleased to meet you I am Yamato Ryunosuke.
Are you the one?
The punk called Yajima Kintaro?
I don't know if I look like a punk.
but my name is Yajima Kintaro.
I understand you took care of my boys the other day
I risked my life for a fight I believed in.
No matter what anyone says,
I'll never apologize or back down.
Kintaro...
Mr. Yamato...
How would you have dealt with this boy?
Won't you tell me?
This man is an employee of our company.
As long as this employee needs me.
I shall suffer with him and take on his problems.
Kid.
There are many like you
who act recklessly without thinking of the consequences.
Do you think that's accepted in society?
Your chairman is like a father to you.
But your foolishness could cost him everything.
What will you do about that?
Answer me.
If you can't answer don't talk so big.
! don't know.
I don't know the answer to that.
But...
But what?
A man lives with pride.
Mine says I don't have to knuckle under to you!
Sir...!
Please forgive me!
I don't fight everybody!
I just can't stand bowing to their kind!
But I don't know what to do!
Kintaro..
I don't know how to make up...
for all the trouble I caused you!
Honest fool isn't he?
I Don't know what to say.
Let's stop this.
He didn't answer me.
But his eyes were honest.
Mr. Yamato...
You have a fine employee.
Please forgive me for my many acts of rudeness.
Not at all, sir.
During the Meiji Restoration...
and after we lost the War,
our leaders knew exactly what to do.
Now we are at a period of change many times greater.
Yet no politician or bureaucrat...
can come up with any new ideas.
Exactly.
Are you listening?
By the way Mr. Yamato...
I wholeheartedly support your actions...
at Yamato Construction Company's latest board meeting.
Thank you, sir.
I've supported Oshima 'till now,
but I'll throw my support to you instead.
Thank you, sir.
By the way...
Won't you let me have this boy?
I'd like to train him myself.
What do you say?
Well...
That depends on him.
Why is a man like you...
so interested in such a salaryman?
A salaryman
must never engage in violence.
Very true.
But this boy went and broke that rule.
Two times, from what I alone could see.
If I hadn't talked to my man then...
You and this boy might be dead now.
Sir...
Please don't kill him like flea.
Please!
It's something to make your opponent say that.
I commend you.
You can fight all you want in my world.
Won't you work for me?
Give your answer.
I refuse, sir.
You refuse?
Even if I must still fight.
I want to fight in a world thats decent.
You want to fight in a world that's decent?
I can't believe it!
Design Department 2
I'm department manager!
I'm chief designer!
Sales, Department 1. Tanaka Masakazu Manager.
Mr. Maeda...
Congratulations.
Thank you. You, too. Masumi.
Congratulations, Maeda.
You, too.
We did it.
Look at this!
This is no time to sharpen pencils!
What's going on?
Look! I was promoted, too.
You're a regular worker in sales now.
A regular worker...!
Kintaro, congratulations.
Thank you, sir!
You're a bona fide employee now!
So...
I'd like to ask a favor of you.
What is it, sir?
No violence!!
Give me your word.
Never to engage in violence!
I promise, sir.
Please.
I, Yajima Kintaro, have one request as an employee.
Request?!
What is it?
Please allow the workers to witness a board meeting.
Why?
I'll be spending much of my life at Yamato Construction.
It's as important...
as choosing one woman to spend your life with.
I want a love affair with this company.
There can be secrets between two lovers.
We're all employees of the same company.
Come on, let us sit in on board meetings!
All right. We'll think about it.
Thank you, sir!
Excuse me!
A love affair with the company?!
What do you think, Kurokawa?
Let's not be stingy.
It's bad to be in an organization too long.
You become set in your thinking.
You think so?
From now on, I'd like to open our meetings...
to all employees.
Will that be all right?
You're company president.
I'll leave it to you.
Thank you, sir.
If Kintaro were in a time machine,
where would he come from? Past or future?
That's a difficult question.
But he has an honest smile.
If he wants a love affair, I'd like to give it to him.
I guess so.
Manager!
Kin-chan!
I've been assigned to Sales Department 1.
I'll count on your guidance, sir.
You'll get guidance and how!
Straighten out your desk.
This is your desk Kin - chan.
Congratulations, Kin-chan!
I'll get some coffee for you.
Thank you.
Yajima, congratulations.
Now were real rivals.
Sorry, I just can't think of you as a rival.
Really?
You will.
You'll think I'm your only rival.
Will I?
Cheers!
Now Kintaro's really on his way as a salaryman.
You represent the company, so don't do anything rash.
Mr. Yamato made me promise, too.
No violence, he said!
Naturally!
You ain't got the position or qualification to argue!
If you wanna say something, give us results, first!
That's what you're getting paid for!
Aren't you ashamed?
Some supervisors will always pick on subordinates.
You're crying?!
Don't! Didn't you promise the Chairman?!
Drink, drink!
You're a baby!
You're no man!
Kin - chan?!
Don't!
Can't you drink more pleasantly?
Who're you?
You're being a little too harsh.
It's none of your business.
It is.
Salarymen like you give us a bad name!
Come on, Kin - chan.
Supervisors are supposed to look after their workers!
...To suffer, with them!
What's that, bastard?
You're the one who's not a man.
Stay out of this...!
