K-20: THE FIEND WITH TWENTY FACES Synopsis

1949. In the fictional capital city of "Teito" the aristocrats continue to thrive since the 19th Century, and there is a wide gap between rich and poor. In the city, there are rumors about a mysterious thief, who only steals from the rich in the most incredible ways. People call him K-20, short for "Kaijin Niju-Menso" (the Phantom Thief with 20 faces). One day, a circus acrobat Heikichi Endo (Kaneshiro Takeshi) is deceived by a mysterious old man and arrested as K-20. The old man turns out to be K-20 himself! Heikichi manages to escape from jail and decides to hunt down the real K-20 to prove his innocence. Meanwhile, K-20 sets his eyes on heiress Yoko Hashiba (Takako Matsu), who is the fiance of Kogoro Akechi (Toru Nakamura), the famous detective who arrested Heikichi. Heikichi happens to rescue Yoko from K-20 and convinces Yoko and Kogoro that he is not the real criminal. He joins them to fight against K-20, using his incredible physical ability. In the non-stop battle with K-20, the true identity of the thief is revealed!
