The Biography of Tateshokushi

In Showa 20, the Pacific War had just come to an end. After experiencing the tragic war, Japan's mountains and rivers were desolate, and everything was in ruins. People living at the lowest level struggle to survive with their hard-working hands. In the ruins of Tokyo, small vendors gradually gathered, relying on their high-quality and low-priced food to provide satisfying meals for poor craftsmen, and the myth of the standing chef began. Tsukimi no Ginji (dubbed by Kichijoji Weibo) was the first to appear. The old man with long flowing hair like a fairy has made a name for himself in the overlord restaurant world. After that, legendary chefs such as Gin of the fox croquette (Mako Hyodo), Tetsu of the burger (Kenji Kawai), Goro Goro of the beef rice bowl (Kenji Kawai) and other legendary chefs appeared one after another, leaving a unique footnote on the development history of Japan after World War II... The film was adapted by animation director Mamoru Oshii based on his 2004 novel of the same name.
