Tokyo Vice Season 2 Story
The story of Tokyo Vice is about Jake Adelstein, an American journalist who wants to make it big in Tokyo. However, he has to pass an exam in the Japanese language to get the job he wants at a famous newspaper company. Jake Adelstein passes with flying colors and joins the Japanese company in a minimal position.
He comes under the care of Hiroto Katagiri, a vice squad detective who teaches him the ways of Japan. He also educates Jake about the yakuza and how crime takes place in an organized manner. The Yakuza is a Japanese crime syndicate because of which people live in terror.
The series follows the lives of Jake, Hiroto, and the people associated with them. At the end of season one of Tokyo Vice, Jake was thinking of returning to the USA.
