El verano de Kikujiro (1999)
Masao es un niño de nueve años al que le toca pasar las vacaciones de verano con su abuela; así que se acabaron los partidos de fútbol, ya que todos sus amigos se han marchado a la playa. El aburrimiento de Masao es tal que se le ocurre la idea de buscar a su madre, a la que nunca ha visto. Con muy poco dinero y con una fotografía y una dirección como únicas referencias, el plan parece condenado al fracaso. Una amiga de su abuela propone que su marido acompañe a Masao. El problema es que Kikujiro, un antiguo yakuza, no parece la compañía más recomendable para un niño.
