Summary:

The tale of 'Tiger & Dragon' revolves around Rakugo, a traditional form of Japanese comedy that has an impressive 400-year history.

In this case 'Tiger & Dragon' is a story told with all stories acted out by the main actors in different periods and modern situations.

Nagase portrays the Yakuza follower Toraji who goes to a Rakugo performer to collect debts, while Okada plays Ryuji a talented Rakugo player who wants to leave behind the old fashioned world of Rakugo for good. Shortly afterwards these two very different characters happen to cross paths through a girl named Megumi.

And that's when all the real trouble starts igniting...
