The Killing Machine

You return to 1946 Japan where seven years of war have left streets without law. But no one lifts a fist against bullies like you. Then you decide to trade fighting skills for discipline, building a dojo on Shikoku Island. That choice starts a feud with every yakuza in sight. The island watchers note this legend never talks about his past.
