High Kick Girl! (2009)

High Kick Girl! is a Japanese martial arts action film written and directed by Fuyuhiko Nishi. It was released by Hexagon Pictures in Japan on May 30, 2009.

The film stars karate champion Rina Takeda as Kei, a cocky young karate expert who joins a dojo and quickly proves herself to be the most skilled fighter amongst all her male peers. However, her sensei Matsumura still refuses to give her the coveted black belt until she learns all the kata (forms).

Too impatient to wait any longer, Kei hastily joins a fighting group called the Destroyers. The Destroyers don’t care about anything but fighting and earning money, and this suits Kei just fine. But when she finds out their true purpose—to destroy Matsumura—she decides she must do whatever it takes to put a stop to them.
