Since becoming a neighborhood policeman, he is busy writing letters of apology on a daily basis. One day, Reiji is called in to see the Chief of Police, Sakami, who summarily fires him. Outwardly, he is dismissed for dishonorable conduct, but he is secretly ordered to infiltrate a crime syndicate and arrest the big boss as an undercover cop – “The Mole.” Their target is Shuho Todoroki, head of Sukiya-kai, the largest yakuza clan in the Kanto Area. Reiji manages to become the new favorite of Masaya Hiura a.k.a. “Crazy Papillon,” the leader of the Akogi group, a clan under Sukiya-kai. Reiji prepares to vow his allegiance to Akogi by partaking in the ritual sake cup exchange with its big boss Ako.

■Starring Toma Ikuta as Reiji Kikukawa Joy, anger, pathos, humor! You’ve never seen Toma Ikuta like this before! No young actor is as “beautiful” as Toma Ikuta, who recently played Hikaru Genji in Genji Monogatari ~ Sennen no Nazo (The Tale of Genji, A Thousand Year Enigma). He has shown great versatility in films such as “Ningen Shikkaku” “Hanamizuki” “We were there, Parts 1 & 2” and the new “Brain Man”, but in “The Mole Song” we see yet another face of Ikuta – an idiotic, perverted, virgin undercover cop named Reiji Kikukawa! Reiji is fired from the force, but his unconditional sense of justice makes him the perfect candidate to infiltrate a crime syndicate as a “mole.” What happens when a gorgeous actor at the top of him game takes on a controversial role in a crazy film? See Toma Ikuta like you’ve never seen him before!
