Toshihiko Takeda

Tomu Uchida's "Keisatsukan" tells the story of a young police man, Itami, who met his high school friend, Tetsuo, at a roadblock. As the two rekindled their friendship through a series of beautiful flashbacks of their high school days, the audience are entangled into the complex relationship between between an honest police officer and a gangster.

Two siblings lost their parents at a young age and grew up alone. The older brother becomes a prosecutor and the younger sister is about to marry. It seems the rest of their lives will be a fine one. There is a problem however. The brother is professionally pitted against the sister's fiancee. (imdb)

The title might sound shocking, but the red hands mean, the hands which drag fishnets. Ohama, 15 or 16 years old girl lost her family and lived alone in a fishermen's village. She is a strong-minded girl and very popular among young children. I guess that this story is one of the origins of girl's manga in the 1950s in which I belonged to the first generation of Japanese story manga.

An extremely early Hibari Misora role.
