The student Ken Kitano ( 北野 堅 ) lost his parents early - they were killed in a gang war between yakuza . Known as a thug at school, he's no more than a good fighter. When his classmate Yumi "Yumin" Yoshizawa ( 吉 沢 祐 美 ), with whom he is in love, moves to South Korea, he follows her. She wants to be a police officer there and Ken wants to follow her example. He does not know that Yumin's family belong to the yakuza who killed his parents and they have now left to get out of their criminal environment. When he arrives in Korea, Ken cannot gain a foothold and because of his martial arts he becomes the leader of a street gang. This becomes more and more powerful under his leadership, renamed Sun-Ken Rock Gang.
