TOKYO TOY BOY

Discription

TOKYO TOY BOY focuses on the heart of Shinjuku, in the Kabukicho district, known for its nightlife and host clubs where handsome men entertain lonely women.

In the documentary, we follow Kazuho, a former host boy who comes into contact with the Yakuza at the age of 19. His story offers a glimpse into the hidden world of Tokyo.
