Kōji Yakusho
Despite his success in the late 1980s, Negishi worked only sparingly for the next 15 years: a 1992 film based on the manga series "Kachō Kōsaku Shima", the short feature "Chibusa" about a man (Kaoru Kobayashi) caring for his leukemia-stricken wife, and "Kizuna" (1998), a thriller about a former yakuza with Kōji Yakusho and Ken Watanabe.
