The Miracle of Joe, the Petrel (海燕ジョーの奇跡) 40 years old
He avenges himself and escapes far south to the Philippines. He lives only for today. That's his youth.
In Okinawa, a Japanese-Filipino gangster named Joe kills an Okinawan mobster. Joe temporarily escapes the pursuing mob by fleeing to the Philippines, hoping to find there safety and perhaps to link up with his father. He meets Yoko, a saloon girl, who looks after him, but soon Joe's enemies show up, determined to make Joe pay.
