Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Deadly Fight in Hiroshima (Japanese: 仁義なき戦い 広島死闘篇, Hepburn: Jingi Naki Tatakai: Hiroshima Shitō-hen), also known as Hiroshima Death Match, is a 1973 Japanese yakuza film directed by Kinji Fukasaku.[1][2] It is the second film in a five-part series that Fukasaku made in a span of just two years. It is the only movie in the series not to focus on Bunta Sugawara's character Shozo Hirono; instead it follows the rise and fall of Shoji Yamanaka, played by Kinya Kitaoji.
