Breaking into any new city is a daunting challenge, but breaking into Tokyo as a foreigner, at a time when the yakuza ruled, was damn near impossible. This is the story of Jake Adelstein, an American reporter who travelled to Japan with big dreams in the ‘90s. His work led him right into the den of a yakuza web, and for a while, he balanced on the precipice of a very, very dangerous edge. Luckily, he survived it all to tell the tale and leave us with the highly gripping Tokyo Vice, an adaption of his autobiography of the same name.

What is Tokyo Vice about?
Based on the non-fiction autobiography of the same name, Tokyo Vice is the story of Jake Adelstein, an American reporter who relocated to Japan in the hopes of breaking in big with the seedy underworld of Tokyo. After passing a notoriously difficult Japanese language exam, he is accepted onto the staff of a notable Japanese paper, but, as a foreigner and a newbie, is forced to begin right at the bottom. Determined to find a real story, he becomes friendly with detective in the vice squad, who eventually takes him under his wing, and gives him the keys to the dark world of the yakuza.
