Crows: Episode 0 is set in an all boys Japanese high school, where instead of having educational classes and courses, what gets put on screen (I haven't read the manga obviously) happens to be an ecosystem of triad society split into different turfs according to grade levels, classes and reputation. Known for movies like Audition and Big Bang Love, Juvenile A, both which were released here, this is probably one of his more accessible films to date, even though it treads on familiar territory with elements of the yakuza.

However, with Crows: Episode 0, gone are the extreme violence, though it still retains some flavour normally found in a typical action flick. Genji vs.Directing a movie based on a manga isn't something new for Japanese auteur Takashi Miike, who also adapted the ultra-violent Ichi the Killer for the big screen.Genji has a brief cameo appearance in Kyou Kara Ore Wa!! working as a barber.Sajima Yousuke (Suzuran's freshman war winner in Hana Tsukishima's senior year) secretly witnessed this fight when he was in his fourth year in grade school. On the final day of school, before graduating, Genji fought Rindaman one last time, however, Genji would lose yet again. He defeats Taiga in a one on one on the top of Housen Academy's rooftop and was recognized as the 'Captain' of Suzuran's forces during their assault on Housen Academy.

This caused Housen's Head Narumi Taiga to declare war on Suzuran. Genji unwittingly broke the non-aggression pact between Suzuran and Housen when he interfered with the Housen Killer Corp's revenge on Kawaishi Noboru, who was responsible for Makio Bitou's death two years earlier. After defeating Serizawa himself, Genji then turned his focus towards beating the second year Rindaman who was said to be undefeated at Suzuran High. With the help of Hideto Bandou, the GPS was victorious in their final battle with Serizawa's Army despite being outnumbered. He eventually forms his own faction, the GPS (Genji's Perfect Succession) and goes to war with the Serizawa Army's Serizawa Tamao, who was the closest to ruling Suzuran before Genji showed up and opposed his dominance over the school. His father, Hideo made a deal with him, stating that if Genji succeeds where he failed, in uniting the infamous delinquent school Suzuran, then he will allow his son to succeed him as the boss of his Yakuza organization. Genji enters Suzuran All-Boys High School as a transferred senior with the goal of conquering it. One day, he and Tokio went to climbed an electric tower and this is where Genji would accidentally cut himself on his left eyebrow when he saved Tokio from falling.

He is an old friend of Tokio and it was revealed that Tokio was the one who gave Genji his infamous haircut.
