Shinya Tsukamoto
Off-camera, a sadistic "yakuza" boss named Anjo has been massacred. An expert cleaning crew run by Jijii (Shinya Tsukamoto) immediately removes any trace of Anjo's blood and entrails, and credits Ichi for the slaughter. Later, Kakihara (Tadanobu Asano), Anjo's sadomasochistic high-ranking enforcer, and other crime lords visit the spotless apartment, concluding that Anjo fled town with the prostitute and ¥3 million of the gang's money.
