Ushijima the Loan Shark The Final Film's Trailer Previews Superfly Theme Song

The official website of the live-action adaptations of Shohei Manabe's Ushijima the Loan Shark (Yamikin Ushijima-kun) manga began streaming a trailer on Monday for Yamikin Ushijima-kun The Final, the fourth and final live-action film adaptation of Shohei Manabe's Ushijima the Loan Shark (Yamikin Ushijima-kun) manga. The video previews the film's theme song "Good-bye" by Superfly.

The film will open in Japan on October 22. The story covers the "Yamikin-kun" (Loan shark-kun) arc of the manga that approaches Ushijima's roots.

Takayuki Yamada (Train Man, Crying Out Love in the Center of the World, Crows Zero, Gantz, 13 Assassins) reprises his titular lead role from the previous adaptations, Gō Ayano (Kamen Rider 555, Gantz II: Perfect Answer, live-action Gatchaman) reprises his role as Inui from the second television season, and Hiromi Sakimoto (Kamen Rider Gaim, Death Note) reprises his role as Takada from previous television seasons.

The original Ushijima the Loan Shark manga depicts the human drama in the black market world, as seen through the eyes of the titular loan shark. Ushijima heads Kaukau Finance, an outfit that lends money at an illegal interest rate — "Togo" or 50% every 10 days.

The first live-action television series ran from October-December 2010, and the first film opened in August 2012. A second season premiered in January 2014, with a second film then premiering in May that same year. The third season premiered on July 17, while the third film opened in Japan on September 22.
