About
Kintaro Yajima comes to Tokyo and is hired by Yamato Construction Company when he saves the life of the company's CEO. A former leader of a motorcycle gang, Kintaro is known for his highly principled and forthright way of dealing with matters and is never afraid to tell his superiors exactly what he thinks. This has a tendency of irritating some; but when corruption from within the company begins to surface, he may be the only one who can stand up to it.

Depressed by his seemingly imminent ouster initiated by Oshima, Ryunosuke calls his friends and loved ones together for a party at a hotel. There, Kintaro runs into an old buddy from his motorcycle gang days. Toru and his transvestite friends join the party and relate tales of Kintaro’s wild days.
Fight 3
It's nearly time for the Board of Directors' meeting, but Maeda hasn't been able to find the computer password that will unlock Oshima's nefarious schemes. Masumi sends Ryunosuke a magazine article reporting on a scandal involving Oshima. Meanwhile, Kintaro is "called out" by a punk at his office.
Fight 4
Kintaro is assigned to the Sales Department. Section Chief Tanaka takes him around to meet all their important clients. One day, CEO Ryunosuke introduces him to the father of a young man Kintaro had helped in the past. Takao wants to show his appreciation by allowing Kintaro to draw up the estimates for his supermarket.
Fight 5
Ryunosuke orders Kintaro to supervise at a construction site. The work there has fallen 2 months behind schedule. The foreman refuses to resume work until he's paid in full.

Kintaro has his hands full working on plans for an apparel firm's new building. Meanwhile, Maeda is depressed because his work isn't going well.

Fight 7
Kintaro's plans for a multi-level pachinko parlor-shopping center is a hit with his superiors. However, when he takes them to Amagasaki, president of the pachinko parlor chain, he is given the cold shoulder. It seems Ryuta and Amagasaki's grandson have been at odds at school.
