Features: The once-famous family issues commentator Yagisugi Koko sought to cover up her early relationship with an American Black occupation soldier to preserve her own and her husband's status and reputation. She personally stabbed to death her mixed-race son and murdered informants to silence them. More ironically, the murderer, in pursuit of fame, used her son Kyohei as a prop, staging a farce of "mother-son correspondence" and "model mother-son," when in reality Kyohei was a genuine delinquent. Their mother-son relationship was one of complete mutual exploitation, deceit, and manipulation. As a result, Kyohei took the path of crime, and Yagisugi Koko could not escape legal consequences.
