In The Family Game (Kazoku Gêmu, 1983), Ichirota Miyagawa plays the lazy, underachieving son of a wealthy family named Shigeyuki Numata. When he meets his no-nonsense tutor Yoshimoto (Yusaku Matsuda), he’s forced to shape up in order to get accepted to a good school. However, it soon becomes apparent that Yoshimoto’s teaching is not over as he masterminds one final lesson for the Numata family.
