City Hunter – Watch the trailer for the new live-action adaptation of the manga

City Hunter, the hugely popular manga written and illustrated by Tsukasa Hojo, finally gets a live-action adaptation made in Japan. This notorious, cool-headed yet excitable protagonist descends upon modern-day Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Ryo Saeba is a “sweeper” based in Shinjuku, Tokyo who cleans up trouble in the gritty underworld. Although he’s an unparalleled playboy who struggles to keep his cool around beautiful women, when he accepts a request, he carries it out with crack marksmanship, impressive athletic abilities and a calm composure.

Join Ryo, Kaori and Hideyuki on the bustling streets of modern-day Shinjuku as the curtain finally rises on the origin story of “City Hunter.”

The unflappable, foolish and flirtatious Ryo is played by Ryohei Suzuki, while the heroine Kaori Makimura is played by Misato Morita. Ryo’s partner Hideyuki Makimura is played by Masanobu Ando, and Saeko Nogami, a beautiful detective who has a complicated relationship with Ryo, is played by Fumino Kimura.

City Hunter hits Netflix on 25th April 2024.
