Tatsu, aka the Immortal Dragon, is the legendary yakuza who defeated a rival gang with just a piece of pipe, and his name strikes terror among the most seasoned cops and ruthless criminals alike. Shortly after vanishing without a trace, Tatsu reappears, determined to turn his career around. He abandons violence in favor of the apron and tries to lead an honest life as a house husband. As he adjusts to everyday household chores, Tatsu discovers that being a stay-at-home husband brings its own challenges, from the battlefield of sales at the grocery store to dismal failures in the kitchen. The second season of “From yakuza to house husband” promises to continue conquering more fans with its excellent balance of comedy and action.
