Trailer - Karate Girl (KG - Karate Gāru) [English-subtitled]

An English-subtitled trailer for Karate Girl has been uploaded to the film’s official YouTube channel. This is essentially the same trailer I posted back on December 12th without subtitles, so in lieu of cluttering up the site with a new post, I’m just updating and bumping the original.

The film stars Rina Takeda and Hina Tobimatsu as sisters Ayaka and Natsuki Kurenai, the youngest descendants of a legendary Okinawan karate master named Shoujirou Kurenai. As children, they live a happy life with their father (Tatsuya Naka) who teaches them karate. One day, a mysterious group kills their father, kidnaps Natsuki, and steals the legendary black belt which has been passed down in their family for over 200 years.

Years later, Ayaka has moved to Yokohama to live the life of an ordinary teenager under a different name. Meanwhile, Natsuki’s captors have turned her into a killing machine. Eventually, they discover Ayaka’s whereabouts and pit sister against sister. With the teachings of her father still in her heart, Ayaka must do whatever it takes to save her sister and get revenge against the group that tore their family apart.

“Karate Girl” is co-distributed by CJ Entertainment Japan and T-Joy with a nation-wide domestic release set for February 5, 2011.
