In addition, he is behind on his <a href="/wiki/Alimony" title="Alimony">alimony</a> payments. One day after an interview with Internal Affairs, Nick and his current partner Charlie Vincent witness a lunch meeting between a <a href="/wiki/American_Mafia" title="American Mafia">Mafioso</a> and some Japanese men gone wrong when a <a href="/wiki/Yakuza" title="Yakuza">yakuza</a> named Koji Sato arrives and kills the Japanese men after taking a small package from them. After Nick and Charlie arrest Sato, they are assigned to escort him back to <a href="/wiki/Osaka" title="Osaka">Osaka</a> under orders from the <a href="/wiki/Japanese_Embassy_to_the_United_States" title="Japanese Embassy to the United States">Japanese Embassy</a>. Upon landing in Osaka, Nick and Charlie are tricked by yakuza dressed as police officers to hand Sato over to them before the real police arrive. </p><p>While explaining the incident, Nick and Charlie convince the Osaka <a href="/wiki/Prefectural_police" title="Prefectural police">prefectural police</a> to allow them to observe the investigation on Sato's activities, with Assistant Inspector Masahiro Matsumoto accompanying the duo. At a nightclub, Nick meets Joyce, a nightclub hostess from <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> who tells him Sato is fighting a gang war with a powerful <i><a href="/wiki/Yakuza##Yakuza-related_terminology" title="Yakuza">oyabun</a></i> named Kunio Sugai. The next day, Nick and Charlie join a police raid without permission, and Nick takes a few <span style="white-space: nowrap">US$</span>100 bills from the crime scene. He later proves to Matsumoto and his superior that the bills are part of a <a href="/wiki/Counterfeit_United_States_currency" title="Counterfeit United States currency">counterfeiting</a> war between the rival yakuza groups. After a night out with Matsumoto, a drunk Nick and Charlie walk back to their hotel when a motorcyclist steals Charlie's trench coat and leads him to an underground parking garage. Nick follows them, only to watch in horror as a <a href="/wiki/B%C5%8Ds%C5%8Dzoku" title="Bōsōzoku">bōsōzoku</a> gang attacks Charlie before Sato appears and decapitates him. </p><p>Following Charlie's death, Nick reveals to Matsumoto that he stole money during the drug raid in New York. Nick and Matsumoto follow a hostess who is their only clue to Sato. The trail leads to a steel foundry, where they see a meeting between Sato and Sugai. It is revealed that the package Sato took in New York is one-half of a printing plate that Sugai sent to the Mafia to verify its craftsmanship, and Sato is offering to return it if Sugai grants him the title of <i>oyabun</i>. Shortly after the meeting, Nick chases after Sato, but is promptly arrested and <a href="/wiki/Deportation" title="Deportation">deported</a> for carrying a gun in public, while Matsumoto is suspended and demoted. Nick sneaks off the plane to pursue Sato on his own. Following a tip from Joyce, he meets Sugai, who tells him that he survived the <a href="/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki" title="Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki">bombing of Hiroshima</a> and that his counterfeiting scheme is his revenge on the U.S. for the <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_fallout" title="Nuclear fallout">"black rain"</a> he experienced that day and for corrupting Sato and the younger Japanese generation with western ideals. Nick convinces Sugai that he can help him retrieve the stolen plate from Sato to retain Sugai's reputation among the other yakuza clans. </p><p>At a remote farm, Nick and Matsumoto regroup and deduce that Sato is plotting to massacre Sugai's gang upon seeing some of his henchmen dressed as rice farmers. During the truce meeting with Sugai, Sato <a href="/wiki/Yubitsume" title="Yubitsume">cuts off his little finger</a>, but betrays Sugai by stabbing him in the hand before running off with both plates. As both rival gangs are engaged in a gunfight, Nick chases Sato on motorcycle before they tangle in a fistfight. Nick gains the advantage and, having Sato at his mercy, has the choice of whether or not to kill Sato for Charlie and all the humiliation he has suffered. Nick and Matsumoto walk a handcuffed Sato into police headquarters to the amazement of everyone and later receive commendations, which Nick accepts gratefully. </p><p>Before Nick boards his flight home, Matsumoto remarks that the printing plates were not recovered, and Nick seems to imply that he took them. Nick thanks Matsumoto for his assistance and friendship and gives him a dress shirt in a gift box. Underneath it, Matsumoto finds both plates. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Black_Rain_(1989_American_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Michael_Douglas" title="Michael Douglas">Michael Douglas</a> as Detective Nick Conklin, <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department" title="New York City Police Department">NYPD</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Andy_Garc%C3%ADa" title="Andy García">Andy García</a> as Detective Charlie Vincent, NYPD</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ken_Takakura" title="Ken Takakura">Ken Takakura</a> as Assistant Inspector Masahiro "Mas" Matsumoto, <a href="/wiki/Prefectural_police" title="Prefectural police">Osaka Prefectural Police</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kate_Capshaw" title="Kate Capshaw">Kate Capshaw</a> as Joyce</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Y%C5%ABsaku_Matsuda" title="Yūsaku Matsuda">Yūsaku Matsuda</a> as Koji Sato</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Shigeru_K%C5%8Dyama" title="Shigeru Kōyama">Shigeru Kōyama</a> as Chief Inspector Ohashi, Osaka Prefectural Police</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Spencer_(actor)" title="John Spencer (actor)">John Spencer</a> as Captain Oliver, NYPD</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Guts_Ishimatsu" title="Guts Ishimatsu">Guts Ishimatsu</a> as Katayama</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Yuya_Uchida_(singer)" title="Yuya Uchida (singer)">Yuya Uchida</a> as Nashida</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tomisaburo_Wakayama" title="Tomisaburo Wakayama">Tomisaburo Wakayama</a> as Kunio Sugai</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Miyuki_Ono" title="Miyuki Ono">Miyuki Ono</a> as Miyuki</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Luis_Guzm%C3%A1n" title="Luis Guzmán">Luis Guzmán</a> as Frankie</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Costelloe_(actor)" title="John Costelloe (actor)">John Costelloe</a> as 'The Kid'</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Stephen_Root" title="Stephen Root">Stephen Root</a> as IA Detective Berg</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Richard_Riehle" title="Richard Riehle">Richard Riehle</a> as IA Detective Crown</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jun_Kunimura" title="Jun Kunimura">Jun Kunimura</a> as Yashimoto</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tim_Kelleher_(actor)" title="Tim Kelleher (actor)">Tim Kelleher</a> as Bobby</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Rikiya_Yasuoka" title="Rikiya Yasuoka">Rikiya Yasuoka</a> as Ishioka</li> <li>Bruce Kaztzman as Yudell</li></ul> <p>Additional cast members include Ken Kensei as Matsumoto's son, <a href="/wiki/Vondie_Curtis-Hall" title="Vondie Curtis-Hall">Vondie Curtis-Hall</a> as an NYPD detective, <a href="/wiki/Josip_Elic" title="Josip Elic">Josip Elic</a> as Joe the bartender, <a href="/wiki/Keone_Young" title="Keone Young">Keone Young</a> as a <a href="/wiki/Karaoke" title="Karaoke">karaoke</a> singer, Shôtarô Hayashi; Toshishiro Obata and <a href="/wiki/Takayuki_Kubota" title="Takayuki Kubota">Takayuki Kubota</a> as yakuza mediators, <a href="/wiki/Shiro_Oishi" title="Shiro Oishi">Shiro Oishi</a>; Roy K.
