The first - and probably most famous - Japanese horror film to appear on this list, Ichi The Killer may very well be banned in more countries than not, such is its reputation for violence.

Despite the title of the film, Ichi The Killer is more well-known for its supporting cast member, Kakihara. A sadomasochistic Yakuza gang member, Kakihara is a demented criminal intent on achieving a euphoric death he belives only Ichi can give him.
