Show Guide: 'Sins Of Kujo'

Synopsis: A live-action adaptation of Shohei Manabe’s latest work (Ushijima the Loan Shark), Sins of Kujo asks: Does defending “bad people” make you a crooked lawyer? This crime drama pushes viewers to rethink everything they know about law and morality.

Taiza Kujo is a lawyer who defends only society’s worst: thugs, yakuza, and ex-convicts. Often called unscrupulous by others, he wields the law as a weapon to protect the morally reprehensible, all in pursuit of his own view of justice.

Yuya Yagira stars as the unconventional lawyer Taiza Kujo, with Hokuto Matsumura as the elite lawyer Shinji Karasuma, who finds himself suddenly working for Kujo. (Courtesy Netflix, 2026)
