Synopsis

An interpersonal drama adapted from popular motorcycle manga "Kirin". It portrays the life of a biker who only feels alive in the world of speed. Its battle race between a motorbike and a Porsche on a public road is a thrilling highlight. Its director is Otsuru Gitan, who is also active as an actor. Kirin (Maki Kurodo), a legendary ex-bike racer, now leads an ordinary life as a company employee. However, one day he discovers the beloved bike he used to ride at a motorcycle store, and decides to take on the Porsche he raced in the past once again.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
