The Human Trust

The film is based on an original story by Harutoshi Fukui (KT, Aegis) and revolves around the controversial “M-Fund” gathered by the Imperial Japanese Army. It originally consisted of precious metals and other valuables confiscated by SCAP unit commander Major-General William Marquat with the intention of using it for post-war rebuilding efforts. However, the lack of clear records of what became of it after it was turned back over to the Japanese government has led to rumors that is still exists. Subsequently, these rumors have led to countless financial scams and conspiracy theories involving a hidden influence of governmental politics. Yuichi Mafune, a man who is officially a “finance broker”, but in reality is a scam artist. One day he’s contacted by a man named Seki on behalf of a mysterious person known as “M” who wants Mafune to help steal from the M-Fund.
