Hokuriku Proxy War (1977) watch online

Hokuriku Proxy War (Japanese: 北陸代理戦争, Hepburn: Hokuriku Dairi Sensō) is a 1977 Japanese yakuza film directed by Kinji Fukasaku and starring Hiroki Matsukata, Sonny Chiba and Yumiko Nogawa. A jitsuroku eiga based on real events, it depicts a conflict between a wild yakuza (Matsukata) and his bosses that spreads across the Hokuriku region of Japan.

It was released by Toei Company on February 26, 1977. Less than two months later, the real-life basis for Matsukata's character, Hiroshi Kawauchi, was shot dead in a manner nearly identical to a scene in the film. This is believed to be the reason why Hokuriku Proxy War was Fukasaku's last yakuza film and Toei's last jitsuroku eiga.
