Takeshi Kitano (北野 武, Kitano Takeshi, born January 18, 1947), also known in Japan as Beat Takeshi (ビートたけし, Bīto Takeshi), is a Japanese comedian, actor, and filmmaker. While he is known primarily as a comedian and TV host in his native Japan, he is better known abroad for his work as a filmmaker and actor as well as TV host. Kitano rose to prominence in the 1970s as one half of the comedy duo Two Beat, before going solo and becoming one of the three biggest comedians in the country. After several small acting roles, he made his directorial debut with 1989's Violent Cop and garnered international acclaim for Sonatine (1993). He was not widely accepted as an accomplished director in Japan until Hana-bi won the Golden Lion in 1997. In October 2017, Kitano completed his Outrage crime trilogy with the release of Outrage Coda. He is also known internationally for hosting the game show Takeshi's Castle (1986–1990) and starring in the film Battle Royale (2000).
In the near future, an ordinary teenager and high school graduate named Itaru Kagimoto has just become sad after the death of his little sister, which causes drug addiction, alcoholism, and a hostile bad attitude. This results in a dysfunctional relationship with his parents and an attempt was made to help him religiously, but Itaru does not accept this. Itaru stubbornly resents and shuts out anyone who tries to make him stop what he is doing and wishes to escape from all the drama in his life. Then one day, he unexpectedly receives a mysterious virtual reality helmet called E.V.E, a game-like world ruled by a powerful entity from his dreams. As his last chance, Itaru uses E.V.E to escape from his world and tries to discover the true meaning of his life as he encounters players, characters, mysteries, villains, clues, and strange obstacles in the world of E.V.E.
