The Final Piece (2025)
Deep in the mountains, a skeletal corpse is unearthed - the only clue to its identity, a single handcrafted shogi piece from one of only seven sets known to exist. Shogi, often described as Japanese chess, becomes the key to unravelling a complex case. The investigation soon points to KAMIJO Keisuke (SAKAGUCHI Kentaro), a mysterious young prodigy who seemingly appeared from nowhere to dominate the professional shogi world and skyrocket to fame. The trail leads further into the underworld, to TOMYO Shigeyoshi (award-winning actor, WATANABE Ken), a powerful shogi player closely tied to illegal gambling who knows Keisuke's past. As the investigation progresses, Keisuke's carefully constructed image of a genius begins to crumble, exposing the emotional wounds and fractured relationships that shaped him.
