The film depicts the historical "Honno-ji Incident" from 1582, when a key vassal of Oda Nobunaga rose in revolt and caused his master to commit hara-kiri in Kyoto. The reasons for the revolt and whether Akechi Mitsuhide was really the ringleader have been debated ever since. It will explore the ambitions, betrayals, and fates of various characters, including warlords, ninjas, traveling performers, and peasants, and brings out the essence of Kitano's world, including intense violence and dark humor.
Takeshi Kitano's Kubi is set to open first in Japan starting in October 2023. No other international release dates are set yet
