The story of Shinjuku Swan 2 is set in Yokohama, Japan, following the development of the manga of the same name. The protagonist Shiratori Ryuhiko (Ayano Go) will face off against Taki Masaki, the president of the Yokohama Wizard, played by Tadanobu Asano. In the manga, Taki Masaki is the "most terrifying enemy in the history of Shinjuku Swan". This role is perfectly suited to be played by the eccentric actor Tadanobu Asano.
