A Janitor (Japanese title: ある用務員, Aru youmuin) is a 2021 Japanese action-drama film. The film stars Seiji Fukushi as Akira Fukami, the son of a former gangster and a high school janitor who was adopted by and works for yakuza leader Yoshiki Majima (Kazuhiro Yamaji). When Yoshiki is murdered by a rival family, his daughter Yui becomes the family's next target. The film follows Fukami as he goes undercover at Yui's high school in order to protect her and take out the family's nine assassins. The film also notably features characters Rika (Akari Takaishi) and Shiho (Saori Izawa), the two of whom director Yugo Sakamoto considers precursors to the main characters of his next production.
