Narcotic Photographic Document Tokyo, 1963. Believed to be Kazuo Kenmochi first book it precedes Larry Clark’s masterpiece on drug addiction “Tulsa” by nearly a decade. It is riveting document of Tokyo’s underground drug culture

Let me introduce you...

Let me introduce you to some characters...

Actually you should know them already but not by their name or full name so, since Noda Sensei was so kind to share them on the fanbook (which I recommend you to buy!) let’s meet them again.

So, in order of apparition...

The old man without whom Sugimoto would have never been involved in this mess. Previously known as just Gotō, his full name is actually Gotō Takechiyo (後藤 竹千代). He wasn’t a good person and we don’t really miss him but we’re grateful for introducing Sugi to the gold hunt otherwise we wouldn’t have this story.

But let’s talk about better people one of whom is really missed by a certain main character.

Meet Kenmochi Toraji (剣持 寅次) and his lovely wife Kenmochi Umeko (剣持 梅子) (Maiden name: Kakizaki Umeko (柿崎 梅子)) with their kid.

And now let’s talk of a guy who was called “Prisoner number 1″ by the fandom because his name was a mystery. Well, now he isn’t anymore Prisoner number 1. Say hi to Kasahara Kanjirō (笠原 勘次郎)!

N o, I’m obviously not talking of Tsurumi but of owner of the tattooed skin he was wearing previously known merely as Tsuyama.

His full name was Tsuyama Mutsuo (津山 睦雄)... and I fear no one in the GK fandom will miss him as we never met him (and from the stories about him he probably wasn’t a very nice person).

And now we’re going to talk...

...of the infamous bear trio! Ogata’s rebel buddies.

Previously we just knew their surnames but now we can tell they are:

Corporal Tamai Hōzō (玉井 芳蔵)

Noma Naoaki (野間 直明) and

Okada Fumio (岡田文夫). RIP, bear trio, I really want to know more about you!

And now for someone else we’ve know really for a long time without knowing which was her name.

Huci, Ainu name Susupo (ススポ).

And we continue with the 7th division so let’s met someone else we previously only knew by surname...

Captain Wada Kōji (和田 光示). Please let me know more about you too.

Mishima Kennosuke (三島 剣之助)

Komiya Ikutarō (小宮 幾太郎).

But let’s stop talking about the 7th, what about the baby of Hijikata’s team?

Please meet Okuyama Kantarō (奥山 夏太郎)!

And then we have...

...no, not Ogata, just the owner of the skin on his head, Takara Tetsuo (宝井 哲夫).

And he’s not alone as we also have...

...no, not Edogai but the owner of the tattoed skin with whom his dress his made.

Meet Funabashi Sōroku (船橋 荘六) and wonders if the face we see was his own. And okay, back to the 7th we go and to...

Maeyama Kazuo (前山一夫).

We continue with an unlucky lady...

Ogata Tome (尾形 トメ), better known for being Ogata’s mom. As I was among the ones betting on her to be Tome I’m glad my guess turned out right.

We continue with the luckiest man alive of whom before we knew only the surname...

Kadokura Toshiyuki (門倉 利運). He’s great and deserves a lot of love. And we move to another nice person...

Enonoka’s grandfather, Ainu name Yōyanke (ヨ一ヤンケ).

And we continue with another beloved lady about whom we’d like to know more.

Harumi Chiyo (春見ちよ), previously known just as Igogusa (or Egogusa if you’re Tsurumi).

Last but not least a very favourite of mine.

the awesome Central spy Kikuta Mokutarō (菊田 杢太郎)!

And that’s all for now as I didn’t seem to see any other name that was previously missing but if I were to spot it I would probably update this list.

Hopefully I translitterated all the names correctly so that now everyone can call them with their full names!

Tatsuya Nakadai in Odd Obsession (Kon Ichikawa, 1959) Cast: Machiko Kyo, Ganjiro Nakamura, Junko Kano, Tatsuya Nakadai, Tanie Kitabayashi, Ichiro Sugai, Mantaro Ushio, Jun Hamamura. Screenplay: Keiji Hasebe, Kon Ichikawa, Notto Wada, based on a novel by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki. Cinematography: Kazuo Miyagawa. Music: Yasushi Akutagawa. As with so many foreign-language films, the English title Odd Obsession seems to miss the mark a little, but the Japanese title, Kagi, which means "The Key," also seems a little off-target, even though it was taken from the novel on which the film was based. If I were retitling it, I'd call the film something like "The Jealousy Cure," which is not only in keeping with the plot but is also supported by the way the film opens, as if presenting a case study: We see a man (Tatsuya Nakadai) in a physician's white coat standing before an anatomy chart, speaking directly at the camera. He describes the various effects of aging on the body before turning away to enter the action of the scene. We learn that he is Kimura, an intern in the clinic of Dr. Soma (Jun Hamamura), who is treating a post-middle-aged man, Kenji Kenmochi (Ganjiro Nakamura), for sexual dysfunction. The doctor advises Kenji that the injections he has been giving him are probably ineffective, and that he should try to find other ways of dealing with the problem. Kimura has also been dating Kenji's daughter, Toshiko (Junko Kano), and he has let slip to her that her father is seeing Dr. Soma. She passes the information along to her mother, Ikuko (Machiko Kyo), whom we then see visiting Dr. Soma to find out if there is something she can do for her husband. It's an awkward encounter: Ikuko is rather embarrassed by the subject of their sex life, but she resolves to do what she can to help. Kenji then discovers that his libido is stirred by the thought of anyone having sex with his much younger wife, and when Kimura comes to dinner, Kenji begins to plot ways of bringing his wife and the young and handsome intern together. As Kimura and Ikuko begin an affair -- the key from the Japanese title is the one she gives Kimura to the back gate -- Kenji's sex drive reawakens, with the added consequence of dangerously elevating his blood pressure. Odd Obsession is not so much a case study, however, as an ironic dark comedy, one in which the follies of the various characters lead to what might be a tragic conclusion if viewed from another angle than the one Ichikawa chooses. It's also a showcase for the versatility of Nakadai and Kyo, who reteamed seven years later for the more serious The Face of Another (Hiroshi Teshigahara, 1966). I think Ichikawa is a little too interested in "trying things out," such as the opening segue from breaking the fourth wall into starting the action of the film, or the freeze frames that interrupt the action in the opening section, tricks that don't feel consistent with the rest of Odd Obsession.
