Auf der Reise, die kein Ende kennt, vergess ich Tokyo, irgendwann singt Tetsu, ein Yakuza, dessen Syndikat nicht mehr existiert. Er zieht sich mit seinem Boss Kurata aus Tokio zurück, doch die Stadt holt sie ein. Denn der feindliche Yakuzaboss Otsuka will Tetsu tot sehen und setzt seinen besten Killer Viper auf ihn an. Ohne Rückhalt im eigenen Syndikat beginnt für den Drifter eine tödliche Wanderung...

In this jazzy gangster film, reformed killer Phoenix Tetsu's attempt to go straight is squashed when his former cohorts call him back to Tokyo to help battle a rival gang. This onslaught of stylized violence and trippy colors got director Seijun Suzuki in trouble with Nikkatsu studio heads, who were put off by his anything-goes, in-your-face aesthetic, equal parts Russ Meyer, Samuel Fuller, and Nagisa Oshima. Tokyo Drifter is a delirious highlight of the brilliantly excessive Japanese cinema of the sixties.
