The Chronicle of Japanese Outlaws series (日本侠客伝 Nippon Kyōkakuden) was released by Toei and starred Ken Takakura, often paired with actress Junko Fuji. During the run of Chronicle of Japanese Outlaws, Takakura was also starring in Toei's successful Abashiri Prison series. Chronicle of Japanese Outlaws was the pioneering series in the Yakuza film genre which set up many of the themes which were to define the genre. According to Thomas and Yuko Weisser, some of these films are somewhat old-fashioned and have been surpassed by yakuza epics which came after them, but they are historically important for having shaped the genre.
